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.

solar screens on the outside will help, look at the ~90% and above ones.
They will have to be removed every winter. Check with the building
manager/owner before you purchase.
