If she is truly in the final stages, as the feeding tube would imply, I'd talk with the doctor about hospice. Feeding tubes have their place, but rarely for someone in late stage dementia. If she's on the feeding tube for reasons other than late stage dementia, it's possible she should be re-evaluated. Sleeping in the end stage before death is normal but a medical professional should determine if that is the case with your mom. Take care of yourself, Carol
