I'm trying to come up with a reasonable laptop for my mom to use. Shes disabled and cannot walk very far, mostly bound to a wheelchair. Because she can't do much else, she plays her cute little casual games on her phone and fritters away her days. Lately shes been having trouble navigating sites to pay her bills and stuff because they all make shit mobile site versions. I usually help her navigate them but I have to leave for a semester of college after Christmas. Does anyone have any ideas for a reliable, decently priced laptop she could use?

If a Thinkpad x220 is good enough for Stephen Hawking, it's good enough for your mom.
They're dirt-cheap because nobody wants a Sandy Bridge laptop, but they're indestructible, licensed for Windows 7 Business (and therefore Windows 10 Pro), and if you spill your coffee on them it comes right back out the bottom.
All the laptop/tablet versions have a touchscreen, and I think it's an option on the laptop version.
Definitely go with Windows 10: it's got loads of features to help people that aren't good with computers or have trouble manipulating them.
