Paint is going to be a giant never-ending mess any way you play it.
Don't do it.
I work side by side with physical therapists and am involved in crutch training constantly-- =no= to putting down any sort of covering like outdoor carpeting of faux gras of any sort-- major amplification of fall risk and automatic acceptance of liability.
Along similar lines -hands off- the bottom of her boot or crutches unless you are a health care professional covered by an active liability policy.
I think the suggestion to find a concrete guy to lightly score the surface is the best one-- It's not pretty but I've seen where it's needed to be done after the fact (remember I'm living in blue collar do everything yourself land here)and it's made the necessary difference.
It's done with a plain old circular saw and a steady hand,
The next best idea I have is to put down some sort of grit, or fairly fine gravel, or coarse sand.
