are you needing a free solution?
I wouldn't expect Teamviewer to give you unattended access for free. Heck they start nagging and possible disabling the use if they see you abusing the 'free' option.
This is for a 70+ year old club member for his own personal use between his laptop while in Florida and his home computer... so needs to be super simple and reliable and repeatable and - yea... free. And stupid simple.
Then try Ultraviewer: https://www.ultraviewer.net/en/
EDIT: It is free to but it has some ads.
Also, I'm not sure whether the free license allows you to wake up system if it goes to sleep.Honestly doubt that any solution will be able to wake the remote machine if it's in sleep and it's the only client on the far end. The products that I've used or looked at usually rely on another "awake" node at the same site to send WoL. If it's just the 1 machine in FL and 1 machine at home, there's nothing available to kick the sleeping machine... Unless there's something that I'm missing?
yeah, for sure, by definition it can't wake it if it is asleep. It has to be awoken by another machine on the network. The program can't run to wake itself up.
There may be a bios setting to automatically wake or start the device on a schedule. Maybe that can be part of it, along with in-OS sleep setting to prevent that, so that he can shut it down manually when done for the day.

@scottalanmiller You can use Splashtop which is great.
I second Splashtop. While not free, $5 a month won't break the piggy bank, and it works dang good.
