More details to this question:
My sister is a lawful permanent resident who has Down syndrome. I am currently in the process of submitting the N-400 application for Naturalization on her behalf. We have obtained the signed N-648 form from her physician. My mother, who serves as my sister's primary caregiver, is willing to act as her Designated Representative. However, my mother is also a permanent resident and not a U.S. citizen. Can she still serve as my sister's representative in this matter? As her sister, I am a U.S. citizen but do not possess any documentation confirming that I am my sister's custodial caregiver or have legal responsibility over her. In the event that my mother is unable to act as her Designated Representative, would I be eligible to fulfill this role instead? Additionally, what documentation will be required as evidence in this case?

Generally since your mother is currently her primary custodial caregiver and take responsibility for your sister the applicant is considered an authorized designated representative. She is in the States legally, is an LPR so there should not be an issue of representation. Ensure attach document that establishes familial relationship between your sister and your mother as well as proof your mother is the primary custodial caregiver.
I will strongly recommend you seek representation from an attorney who can assist in reviewing and assemblying your application for you as he/she will assist you with confidence and all adequate pieces of evidence plus more.
