Find Care & Housing
First 2 things that come to my mind are;
1. Depression. Is she depressed & if so, is anything being done for it?
2. Sleeping pills. Is she taking any (or any other meds with sedative effect)? If so, is she taking them too late in the day?
Have you or her discussed this issue with her Doctor?

I assume she's not hearing an alarm clock. Have you considered a vibrating alarm clock that is used by deaf people? That might wake her enough to get out of bed in time for breakfast. For my dad I used reminders set on an Amazon Alexa but, although he was hard of hearing, he was able to hear the alarm reminder if it repeated enough.

Pay for the care package and use all that you can.
As an aside, there are shake and wake alarms for deaf people. They vibrate the bed.

Your mother needs a higher level of care.

Get a "needs" assessment from the local Area Agency on Aging. Make sure you are there to guarantee the accuracy of what they are being told.

Yes, spend the $500 for the services available to wake her up at a regular time so she can eat and get ready for the day. That fee is cheap at the price to keep her healthy & out of a full service Assisted Living Facility which would cost many thousands of dollars per month. See what else that service covers that can be utilized in addition to the wake up calls she needs; perhaps she can use some help getting showered or dressed? Just look into it fully.
