In my humble opinion, if your mother is mentally competent, despite schizophrenia, she can decide where to be.
If she and you want to come to Spain and stay together, that will be the best option for her.
You should start now to ask social services and Spanish health of your town, for basic documentation requirements, get help take care of her. This is not necessary if you can pay extra helped with your own money.
So, you will have provided the extra help care for her start when she gets here. To find out what you need extra help, you must first know what exactly your mother needs.
When she has a medical team assigned here in Spain, and you contact your future caregiver, you can make a better plan for her care, where you'll include the tips care of her, your work hours, and time-off for both.
Reaching an agreement with the General Management of British residence where she is now. To gather all hers medical records and present them to the Spanish health authorities.
I wish you much success.
