I feel like I have to entertain her 24/7.

You don't give us much to go on, but I will say this; your mom probably isn't entertained 24/7 when you are not visiting, so I certainly wouldn't feel obligated to do so now. Just spend time with her. Take her out for lunch or supper, shopping or just a walk around her neighborhood. I'm sure she's enjoying just having you there. Just enjoy your time with her, and quit putting undue pressure on yourself to have to do more.

With your mother’s many health conditions it’s likely that “happy” is over for her. It’s no one’s fault, it’s just that life gets hard with old age. No matter how hard you try to be entertaining the distractions may be brief. My dad best liked simple conversation, though we weren’t dealing with dementia. My mother just liked our presence, it’s not always about doing something
