Ask mom's doctor if the doctor will agree to mom's using a *hat placed on the toilet seat to direct the urine more accurately into a plastic pan for catching urine that fits on top of the toilet rim. That's what they do in some hospitals. *What they call a hat is a hollow plastic object that sets on two sides of the toilet rim to direct the urine into a receptacle. I don't know whether I've described these items accurately. Maybe someone else can explain them better.
I was trying to think of something similar to what jaykay has suggested, all I came up with was to ask at the hospital they usually have a dept. where you can get implements for the disabled on loan they must have something they can suggest. I also wondered if you could perhaps try to hold a babies potty under your Mum. It must be so embarrassing for you and your Mum, I feel for you both.
We use cheap throw away plastic jugs that fit into the toilet bowl when we're doing samples and adequacy tests.
