What are some activities and hobbies for seniors with limited vision and mobility?

Hi I’m trying to look for activities that could work for my grandma that’s turning 71 this year.

Some info about her that might help:

* She is blind in one eye and is partially blind in the other. She can still read and do puzzles provided the text is big enough.

* She’s not very active and has had increased mobility issues from this over long term. Short distances are ok with her mobility aid.

* She knows how to use a phone to call but otherwise doesn’t use it or computers unless we’re showing her stuff.

* She’s never really been into craft, and both me and my mother have never known her to knit.

* She did enjoy cooking, and sometimes does stuff. I’m aware her vision has impacted this.

* We live in a very rural area, so my grandad sometimes takes her for a drive around.

* She likes history and has a bunch of family history stuff.

* She did do a bit of gardening for a while

* She doesn’t really read books but we’re considering audio books

* She does call people to catch up with all the time.

* We have 5 dogs

She pretty spends all day inside and watches tv. So if there’s literally any other activities/hobbies you think could work it would be great.
