Default Advice on what to grow

I am looking for a little advice on what would be some good selections to grow for my mother-in-law. She lives down in the Pine Barrens of NJ, is 87 years old and not very mobile. She can pick tomatoes but is not able to care for the plants and I will only get there every 3 or 4 weeks to look after them. I am thinking determinates or compact plants that will not need a lot of staking. I plan to use the cheapy store bought tomato cages supported by a couple of wood stakes so they won't fall over. I have room for 5 or 6 plants that will be watered by the automatic lawn sprinkler system. They will have southern exposure. I'd like to give her a little variety and figure that any extras could be shared with the other retirees in the community where she lives.

My current selections are Sophie's Choice, Danko, New Big Dwarf, Black Sea Man, Marglobe, Purple Hillbilly.
