Claiming mother as a dependent.

In 2021 my husband and I paid over $60,000 for 24/7 home care for my 93-year-old mother.  She lives by herself and did not have relatives providing the home care for which we paid.  Her social security plus small pension do not add up to a taxable amount.  The amount she paid for her own medical bills and living expenses totaled less than $30,000.  Can my husband and I claim my mother as a dependent on our 2021 taxes?
