Hey! Good job! I use resistance tubes/chords or bands with people who are terribly deconditioned. Even the lightest resistance can help build up some strength when used well, and slowly. Test it out with her, and you can do a lot with it. Just slowly see what she can and can't do, range of motion with arms, etc. and take your time with her. Even really light stretches help, and deep breathing. Again, take your time since she hasn't done anything. As for the "mercy", you may have to cut her some to start with! Being too frail can cause easy sprains, pulls and breaks!! What we see as practically nothing, many need to work towards! So don't push too hard! Build the foundation, but listen to her if she hurts. Just take time...not everyone is as strong as you are. Good job staying young and fit! Take care!
