Caring for elders

My mother is a healthy 78 year old. She is slowing down and having a little trouble driving. Since my father passed, she lives alone. As her friends are getting ill and passing away, she fights depression. To combat that, she spends time with me at my home (I'm 2 hours away). When she was here a few days at a time, four or five times a year, she used a sofa sleeper in my study. As she's now going to be here for a couple of weeks at a time, every couple of months or so, maybe even a most of the winter, I need to do more. But what ...

move the study to bedroom so the room is just hers?
move a bigger TV in the room?
twin size bed fits the room better but full size bed might feel better?


I'm thinking to give her $$$ to redecorate, but that could be dangerous.

When I ask her, she says "Oh baby, whatever you think is best. I don't want to impose".

I'm putting grab bars and shower stool in the bathroom.
