Facetime and Skype are both available for the iPad - I have used both to video conference with my mom (80 years old) and my dad (94 years old!).
Facetime is an Apple product - and thus, is more integrated into the Apple iOS (contacts are automatically there).
Facetime is also simpler to use. Like most Apple products, "it just works." every time. Skype - not so much...
Downside to Facetime is that it requires Apple hardware on both sides -- so you need to have a Mac, iPhone, or iPad to use it to connect with your mom.
IMHO, if your mom already has an iPad, and you have an iPad/iPhone...etc. then Facetime is the best answer.
