Need to ask her doctor because prescribing or suggesting a sleeping medication can contradict or have a bad interaction with the meds she is already taking. What I did with my daddy without prescribing something is make them tired during the day - have them take several short walks during the day. As the day turns to night start relaxing them with calm music or white noise. If she can still read have her read anything calming - like a love story - I found the ones in Womans World magazine are short and fun to read. You can probably find a short one on the internet to read or even a chicken soup - readers digest story. If she can tolerate a warm shower or bath do that and get her all cozy for the night. Rubbing lotion (lavender) on her night clothes or her. You can also place a lavender sachet or rub lavender on their sheets pillows to help calm or relax her. Have one of those plug ins with lavender aroma.

Your profile says
"I am caring for my grandmother, who is 83 years old, living at home with age-related decline, alzheimer's / dementia, diabetes, sleep disorder, and vision problems"
And you are
"age 35.my Grandparents live with a care giver in the home in another province. I work in another province. I go home now and then when work and time allows."
To clarify, are you in Canada? This matters because of what resources can be identified and available to you and your Grandmother.
When you ask what you can do... can you be more specific? What is your most urgent problem that needs to be solved? Is it her sleeping problem? Or her diabetes? Or her dementia? Is she home alone while you go to work? etc.
