My 67 year old mother received permanent residence status last year and she needs to meet the 730 day requirement in order to keep her PR status within the next 5 years. However, I am unable to bring her to live with me because I am caring for my mother in law who is diagnosed with Alzheimers disease stage 5 and deteriorating fast. My mother is not ill or anything but I dont have the resources to bring her to live with me as I am already taking care of a my mother in law who needs round the clock care and will probably be this way for a few more years. My mother could come and visit me but for max three months a year which will make it 450 days and not 730. Do you think if I present this as a reason, the immigration authorities will renew her PR card when it is time for renewal after 5 years. In this case, it is me who is preventing her entry and not her.
Cannot meet permanent residence requirements due to personal reasons

Just an opinion, but as it's your mothers responsibility to maintain her status, its highly unlikely that you not being able to have her in Canada would be seen as a viable reason for not meeting RO. As a PR, you can't prevent her entry. She can come and go as she pleases. Economic reasons don't seem to be reasonable grounds.
No - this won't be grounds for an H&C argument for keeping PR even though she hasn't met the residency requirement. She's an adult and you can't prevent her from entering Canada. Failing to meet RO will be her choice.
Again, that's not grounds for failing to meet the residency requirement.
A language barrier doesn't prevent her from traveling on her own. Airports have translators and are very used to dealing with individuals who cannot communicate in English or French.
If she can't meet the residency obligation, you have to be prepared for the possibility she may lose her PR status.

As for air travel, you can arrange translation & wheelchair service who will take her from check-in to the aircraft seat, then at destination from aircraft seat to whoever is picking her up at arrival hall. This is not an excuse for compassion reasons
Neither is the fact the OP is looking after mother in law a compassionate reason although obviously to the OP and spouse are compassionate reasons but nothing at all to do with the OPs mothers PR status which is hers to maintain not the OPs responsibility unfortunately
