This sounds like a perfectly reasonable solution to me. If you have a line level out from the receiver, it will need to go to the input of an amplifier and then on to the extra center speaker. This is good, because then you can change the loudness of the extra speaker to get it right for your mom, and turn it off if others are watching a movie without her.

If you are splitting the speaker-level output from the reciever's amp section, it may not be the best way to go. Look for a line-level out, or get a gizmo that converts the speaker level to line level, and use an amp as suggested above.
