2906. It was narrated from Abu Razin Al-Uqaili that he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allâh, my father is an old man and he cannot perform Hajj or Umrah, and he is not able to ride the mount (due to old age)." He said: "Perform Hajj and Umrah on behalf of your father." (Sahih)
2906 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَوْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ، لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الْحَجَّ، وَلَا الْعُمْرَةَ، وَلَا الظَّعْنَ قَالَ: «حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ، وَاعْتَمِرْ»

If a very aged person can afford the expenses of Hajj then it becomes due on him. If one cannot go to Hajj out of old age then any other person may perform Hajj on behalf of such a person. Performing Umrah or behalf of someone else is also allowed.
