Or, why not use a kiosk-mode app? Limit your mother's activities to certain set of apps she should use. That's an another option on the table. She installed it, no app can install itself without user interaction. However best would be to deactivate Google play services from settings or even install ROM without any Google app on it if there is custom ROM for your device.
And you should disable "apps from unknown sources" in settings under security. If she still manages to install x app than you should learn her not click on something that says "install me" or any other ad on internet.
Also does she uses Facebook app to access Facebook or internet browser? If she uses browser than install Samsung browser or Mozilla and enable ad blocking. If she uses Facebook app than you should use some adblock app to block ads globally I don't know if some works without root.
I think two apps are responsible for installing apps. The play store and package installer. Play store can be disabled but not package installer. The later is responsible for apk files and works when unknown source is ticked. You can only freeze it with root privilege. Sign up to join this community.
