My 84 year-old Mom lives in an apartment with the Den window facing the
west, which gets really hot in TX. She has the darkened curtains but they
don't block heat or enough light. Can someone recommend a
blind/curtain/covering? Its 84W by 66 tall. Each window is actually two
windows with four panes each.

Don't know about specific products, but:

Use a white curtain to block heat.
To block light, an additional darker curtain could be used, but the
white curtain should be nearer the window.
