Could the State really impose on the priest that he give her Communion if in his opinion she is not mentally competent or able to do so in a respectful manner? It’s no more stringent a requirement than what is required of children before they are admitted to Communion.

No. US law is clear on this.

A priest should visit her and determine whether she can receive. She should be able to.
