I want to bring her to the United States. How or where can I get insurance for her?
I'm afraid you will have a hard time getting insurance for someone already diagnosed with Alzheimer's. You could check with your human services department of the state you live in. They would have national contacts and then you could ask if it is possible. However, I wouldn't get my hopes up.
You are so caring to want to do this. I hope you can get some assistance, even if it's not insurance. You could check with your state's congretional delagation and see if there is a way to get help getting your mother here.

You may want to start out by contacting your local immigration office and alert them of your plans before you go ahead and make the move. The immigration office may have services available for your mother, or it may be able to point you in the right direction of where to go or who to contact next. You might also want to contact the United States Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) at 1 (800) Medicare or visit www.cms.hhs.gov/ and inquire about emergency Medicaid for your mother. If she is eligible, she may receive assistance with medical or other needs in the future. Applying for these benefits may be challenging, but it’s an important step to take when caring for a loved one with this illness.
