Holidays for disabled people

Options
I'm trying to help my parents with perhaps their last big foreign holiday. 
One has very poor mobility and would be reliant on having a mobility scooter. They are torn between Canada and seeing the Rockies, but one also wants one last dip in the sea which may be a little too chilly in Canada? On top of the mobility, toilets are also an issue due to having some occasional incontinence events. 

They have been avid cruisers for many years now, but haven't really flown much since the decline in their health.

Any tips on a reputable company that would be able to support this trip? They seem to be happy to spend around £5kpp. If needed we can arrange for a family member to go with them but it would be nice for it to be just the two of them.

    Can you book them on the train that runs thru the Canadian Rockies ? i am sure they must deal with passengers that have disabilities ,as for flying they could get assistance at the airport ( both ends ) which would make travelling easier.

    They were looking at a holiday that covers this, as well as a Canadian cruise of some description. They've only really ever done package holidays so was hoping there may have been a company out there that would manage it all for them. They've always been really quite anxious when we've DIY'd holidays.
    I think we've found a good accessibile hotel in the Canaries we can accompany them on to help with the dip in the sea now though.
