You can ask her to sleep in prone position. If her saturation remains the same or falls further it is better to consult a doctor physically, so that she can be examined and managed further
Next Steps
Physical consultation and review of medications she is taking

Hi, as your mother has moderate covid don't wait for her spo2 to fall to 90%.If her spo2 levels go beyond 93% rush to hospital ,because she will need hospitalization in that case. In case she maintains her spo2 level at 93% you can tell her to sleep at her stomach i.e. Proning method.

Hospitalise her instead of trying to manage at home.
