Edelweiss, hope you help your mom find some regular activities that pique her interest. And hopefully she will be buddies with at least 1 resident there who is still alert.

My partner's mom did have 2 friends who befriended her. The friends had minor dementia. His mom's dementia did progress but it helps alot to have a friend to pass the time well. Her bed was adjacent to another resident who herself immigrated to Canada from the Netherlands just after the war. Which was a perfect fit given similar time that his mom immigrated to Canada. So enough for the women to share with one another. The friend also had a son who faithfully visited his mother just like my partner faithfully visited his mom.

The good thing about the facility where she was before she died last year, was that if a resident didn't feel like sleeping for awhile at night, they were allowed to hang out near the nursing station in the wheelchair.

My partner tried to visit his mother at least 3-4 times per wk.
