I wish I could buy and ship this to my mom. Don’t have the time to set it up and she lives far away.

I have bought this for my grandma that live on a senior home: https://www.noisolation.com/global/komp

Just one knob to turn it on and adjust the sound.

My other grandma have an iPhone that she barely know how to use (she still have the old one on the wall she love). I first call her, than tell her to tap the green button if she she want to use camera (switch to FaceTime).

This works great for us to keep contact.

Though both of this is solutions only allow us to initiate the contact. Here the Yayagram is brilliant!

you can hire some local student to do the job, as long as you know how it should be done, any tech savvy highschool/uni student should do

You could get a Google Max and use Duo calls.

I do that with my mother and it works well. However, it wasn't easy at all to set up, and she couldn't have done it on her own. The timing was fortunate since I got it for her before the pandemic.
