Setting Up an iPad for Eldery Relative

How difficult would it be to set up an iPad for an Eldelery relative? I have an elderly relative that would like to purchase an iPad. Several of his friends own one and he would also like to purchase one to use Facetime, check emails and play some games, etc. He has an OLD desktop computer that barely works and has no desire to get a laptop, etc. So this isn't a tablet vs laptop debate; they want an iPad.

I have an iPad (my folks do as well), but my father had an old iTunes account of his own and has a laptop (as do I), so I recall setting theirs up was pretty simple as I was able to link it to their established iTunes accounts and once in a while they connect it to their laptop to transfer music and pictures and update apps, etc.

So my question is if we purchase a new iPad for him, would it be complex to set it up? I know we would need to set up a separate iTunes account, but is that it? Is this easy to do when you don't have access to a computer or established iTunes account (or any Apple products). Can this all be managed relatively easy from the iPad itself?
