In person stuff is very dangerous these days, specially on the global south.
FED Jokes aside I would recommend the "Uncle Jim" approach. Get someone they trust to do the buying and setting up of the accounts. Security and backups are too technical for 70yo and scammers have a high rate of success with them.
Forgetting and missplacing are also very common. And at the end of the day they usually do not want the BTC for themselves but for their kids/grandkids.
