Disabled elderly mum advice

Hi all

This is not the happiest post but I really need advice please. My mum is 79 and fiercely independent but in the last year her health has massively deteriorated to the extent she is now on oxygen owing to heart failure and COPD, in addition she has severe rheumatoid and osteoarthritis as welly as fibromyalgia which they prescribed steroids for that have caused osteoporosis and a crack in one of her vertebrae. So in essence she can’t breath very well is weak and in constant pain. She also has cataracts that they will not operate on owing to the breathing issues. I work full time and have a family but do her shopping and visit her several times a week and clean when there but she has said she wants to be able to do it herself. Can anyone recommend any type of hoover that would work bearing in mind she is frail and there are oxygen pipes trailing everywhere. I don’t mean for her to be able to do a full clean but if she wants to spot clean for a bit of independence? Thank you

Any lightweight rechargeable cordless ones would probably be ok, i have a shark which was a-bit pricey but love it.
