My widowed 80+ mother-in-law wants a card for convenience. Anyone know of a card readily issued to elderly?

Thanks

My Mom is 79, a cancer survivor, and she lives with me. She has never had credit in her own name, since my Dad always handled those things.

Capital One gave her a secured card with a small limit. A few weeks later, she got an offer from American Express. I have to talk her into charging something on the card every month, hahaha.

I registered her cards online, and pay them for her each month - had to get her an email address too. Every now and then I, or someone in the family sends her an email, just to keep her "up with the times." I print it so she can read it. It's a trip.
