Does anyone have activity ideas for Parkinson's patient confined to home?

My mother is in the later stages of parkinson's disease. She cannot use her legs or either of her hands so her activites are very limited. Mostly to television/movies/music. I would like to find something else we could do to occupy her mind. My father just past 30 days ago and she is greiving/depressed.
Thank you.

How about books on tape, phone calls with friends/relatives using the speaker phone feature, computer using voice commands. Can she be taken out for wheel chair rides to a park or to a playground to watch the kids? Checkers of chess where she tells her opponent the moves to make?
