If they are capable of making their own decisions then they can execute a power of attorney and appoint someone as their agent.
If there is some question about this, than a judge would have to decide if they are competent based upon medical testimony. This is done through an Interdiction process. If they are declared incompetent, the judge will appoint a curator to manage their affairs. This can be a messy process if contested.
Are their independent third parties who
would be able to do this and if so, finding them? Like I said, her family is unreluable.

Yea, if a court decides she is incapable of making decision they can appoint an attorney to monitor her, but I'm not sure you'd have a snowballs chance in hell of winning that fight, it would end your relationship with her, and cost you lot of $ - for nothing.
If she is a threat of some kind - get the police to do a wellness check. I don't see this ending well for you and her relationship. I'd only do these things in extreme cases and from what you've posted - I don't think this measures up.

Perhaps, hiring an accountant to handle her financial affairs and a sitter service to help her with day to day living, though I'm not clear on what her needs are there.
What about moving her to an assisted living facility?

Someone would have to care enough or have enough of an interest in the situation to have it filled. A third party is not just going to appear and do this. A professional can be appointed curator but they will change a lot of money.
There is something called a Corroner’s Commitment where the coroner’s office can commit someone but they have to be very bad off for this. They would have to impose a physical threat to themselves or others.
