Large Credit Card Debt , 87, in Nursing Home, Cannot pay!

My mother is 87, on pension, after multiple strokes, now in nursing home on medicaid. Many credit card debts. She has lived with me for 5 years. No assets available. Do I have to file a bankruptcy or can I write letters to all the credit card companies. What can they do to her?
