Your grandma is using the towel rack to balance herself getting out of the shower or to help her while hoisting herself up off of the toilet. I had the same problem where I repaired the towel rack once and she just pulled it out of the wall again.
The more permanent solution is to install a grab bar mounted to wall studs, and to use the grab bar as a towel rack.
You will want to get a studfinder (a simple one with magnets that finds the large nailheads in the studs will suffice) and a 16" or 32" grab bar. The grab bar gets screwed into the studs (which live in the wall and are 16" apart). The grab bar is now your new towel rack. It has the added benefit of letting her balance herself and support her entire weight without issue.
Products I recently installed in my grandma's bathroom:

Toilet Safety Rail
Patch the holes from the existing towel bar with spackling compound and a spackling blade, sand flat after it dries, and mount the new grab bar into the studs. Good luck!
