The behavior described fits several possible conditions, but it's important not to jump to conclusions without a full assessment by a mental health professional. However, these patterns of behavior—wanting the curtains and door closed, refusing to leave her room for meals, and a desire to sleep all day—may suggest symptoms of depression or anxiety, or another mood disorder. Some elderly individuals may also show these behaviors due to cognitive decline like dementia or as a response to social isolation. Again, a proper diagnosis would require a thorough evaluation by a health care provider.
