Your mother shouldn't be seen to spend more time in the UK in a 12 month rolling period than she is spending in her home country. The UKVI official guidance for case workers may be helpful, especially pages 8 & 10/11.

"the cumulative period of time the applicant has visited the UK and their pattern
of travel over the last 12 month period, and assess whether this amounts to ‘defacto’
residence in the UK"
and
"
You should check the applicant’s travel history: how long are they spending in the
UK and how frequently are they returning? You must assess if they are, in effect,
making the UK their main home.
You should look at:
• the purpose of the visit and intended length of stay stated
• the number of visits made over the past 12 months, including the length of stay
on each occasion, the time elapsed since the last visit, and if this amounts to
the individual spending more time in the UK than in their home country
the purpose of return trips to the visitor’s home country and if this is used only
to seek re-entry to the UK"

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
