If she is likely to be permanently housebound it may be worth looking into getting Power of Attorney for her so that you can act on her behalf.

Move to a bank that is all online?

We have a Starling joint account, it's very easy to setup online and link the two sole ones

That's the simplest solution, and is what my wife and I did when Halifax wanted us to go into a branch to put my name on her account. Starling and Monzo let you do it all in the app and it takes less then 10 minutes.
