$21/day to administer her pills! WOW! There wouldn't be much left to pay for pills at that rate.
There's a couple of options that work very well and won't break the bank!... if she's able to use them.
Does she have a phone in her room? There's an online phone reminder service - OnCellRx - where you can set it up to call her at the right time once a day every day - FREE!
If she needs more calls, you can set up 3 calls a day to remind her to take her pills for only $20/MONTH!
If she could see and/or hear a pager, those reminders are free, too. You'd only have to get a alphanumeric pager and pay for the monthly pager service. About $10/month.
Is she able to respond to a PDA? Those make very effective pill reminders. The least expensive Palm Z22 is only $80-100 at Palm.com - online store or Factory Outlet and there's a $23 software program called OnTimeRx that is amazing! Take a look at ontimerx.com
I use it on a Palm smartphone all the time and would be lost without it. Hope this helps.
