Most grocery stores sell a complete meal, so order one or two. You can even purchase a tree pre-decorated. Done.

Good grief ma'am life shouldn't be this hard, it's your mother and she's 93!! Stop complaining, order your holiday meal, get someone to help you with the tree and decorations. DONE....
Life is easier on you when you are easier on it.

Why do you want to do that? The one thing people want at that age is to be together with family.

Ask your brother and SIL to help put up a tree; even if your mom hasn't actually done one in 5 years it's clearly a symbol of 'real' Christmas to her. If you can afford one, put up a pre-decorated artificial tree, for convenience. For food, tell your mom you are simplifying and order from a decent caterer or restaurant; many cafeterias even make up holiday dinners with all the trimmings. Your mom is anxious and longing for the old days; her dementia may nag her for things as they used to be. Sorry, times change; many of us would rather enjoy the season than knock ourselves out with all the prep. Set some Pointsettias around, if you don't have pets that they'd make sick if ingested. Play Christmas music, watch Christmas shows. Otherwise, let your mom's complaints roll off your back. Enjoy yourselves in a simplified way; just staring at a lit Christmas tree can be all the holiday many of us need, not all the commercial pressure. We've done tabletop trees for years, set so they appear to be full size trees from outside, the same effect and much easier, even charming.
