In the Name of Allah, the Inspirer of Truth. Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
May Allah grant your grandmother a complete recovery.
According to what you have told us, your grandmother is acutely senile, and if she would not be aware of her surroundings, hence none of the Islamic junctions are compulsory on her. The “pen is lifted” as it were, that is to say, she is not “mukallaf” obliged to carry out the injunctions of Deen. In that case, Salaah, Qurbani or any other injunction is not binding on her, or the Qadha there of. Fidya would not be payable.
If the condition improves or is removed, then all these injunctions would become obligatory for her again, however she would not need to make up any she missed during the time she was unable to.
