If your friend is capable of making a will, then she should do so. An attorney will help you decide if she is indeed capable when she is conscious.
If not, then you may still have a claim against the estate for the services provided. You need to speak to a lawyer experienced in probate litigation matters to see what you might be able to do. You also need to locate any witnesses to your friend's statements that she will put you in her will.
