In the past couple of years she's known her husband has serious health problems. She's also "experienced" health issues herself as of a few years ago. Yet they have enough energy and physical capability to deal with the stress of moving, having rooms and windows added to homes, having a couple of pools built in different homes...
But she doesn't know how to acquire moving boxes, and doesn't know how to find a lawyer.
Something isn't adding up here.

You just described my parents:
Dad small stroke just after build of second house with a pool
2 years later mild heart issues week of closing on third house.
Dad decided best to downsize, Dad had a TIA, 3 days prior to sale.
It wasn’t until he died that I realized my Mom had zero input into any decisions. My Dad had all those issues, in his German weird upbringing the spouse never allowed to make any decisions, own car, have a job.
She never had any input on buying, selling or moving. We were not allowed to help or offer any opinions
I was so taken back when I found nothing was in my moms name or even listed my mom. Not utility bills, mortgages, cars, or the deed to the house. Had never written a check, or any knowledge of banking, investments or debt.
She would be just like OP, no idea how to close on a house, if there was problem, hire a lawyer, who to contact to help downsize, and pack.
I thank my grandparents, helped us, stand on own feet, let us make major decisions.
Even if it caused great issues with Dad, who then disowned us, because we decided all by ourselves, without his permission
