I have trouble taking medications. This is what I did under a doctor and pharmacists care and advice.
I had to make sure the medication was not extended release. They had to be “short acting”. Some medications are dangerous as buggirl55 mentioned if they are crushed. You can check with the pharmacist to be sure which ones can and which ones cant.
I cannot and do not crush antacid such as pantaprozole or ANY “long acting” medication.

I had to change most prescriptions to be short acting taken twice a day instead of once a day (because I now take short acting).

The blood pressure capsule contents my cardiologist suggested not to grind, so I take capsule contents (tiny beads) with applesauce.

This is a suggestion. If you currently have long acting medications, they most likely should be able to prescribe the short acting versions that you can safely grind.

@buggirl55 It’s usually OK for the nurses to crush meds—they know which medications are safe. Probably all the medications you have are safe. I was speaking generally. Most people wouldn't have hospice to guide them. I apologize for causing confusion.
How is your mother doing?

Hi @buggirl55 Not sure if this helps or not, but during my wife's journey there came a time we had to switch to liquid or patch forms of her medications. Not sure about your situation but it really was a huge help for my wife.

Strength, Courage, & Peace
