She doesn't need to be convinced. Do you have POA and can get her the care she needs? Assuming yes, just do it. She will not like it but you have to learn to be OK with that. Sorry.
Chester, you don't convince those with dementia of ANYTHING because they no longer have a rational mind that can absorb truths they need, nor can they accept these truths. Denial is very common in dementia.
Sadly, now, you and your family have to come to conclusions for the best interests of your mom who is no longer able to make her own decisions for her own safety.
Start by making certain that whoever has POA or advance directives of your Mom, assuming these have been designated/made is able to speak with all supportive family members about next moves. If there is no POA there may no longer be an option for your mother to appoint someone as you have to be competent in your mind to do so; nor may she be willing. This means that you need the help of an attorney to become the guardian or conservator if you feel you are able to learn to do this. If you feel you cannot take this on then the attorney will discuss options with you.
You should fill out your profile telling us all the details of yourself, your Mom and your family. And ask any specific questions of us you can think of, one at a time. Continue to participate in the page here and read other's posts; this will help you form ideas of next steps you must take.
I wish you the very best. I recommend you watch Teepa Snow free videos on dealing with someone with dementia. Welcome to the forum.
How much Mom does for herself will keep changing (& shrinking).

There is no "convincing someone with dementia. You need to state what is going to occur, even if they aren't happy.
