The elders anoint with oil. Elders within the church. Also, in keeping with the spirit of the scripture, ANYONE who has the faith, can do so. That word faith, is a very big word. James 5:14 from The Bible.
Roman Catholic Answer:
Only priests (elders) can presently anoint the sick. The sacrament often includes hearing the confession of the individual and only a priest can hear a confession. Only in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches is this considered as a sacrament
People that are are dying/about to die, have a chance of dying because of something (Such as before a high-risk surgery), or are just very ill. The person to receive the Anointing must be a baptized Catholic. If capable and if needed, they should go to confession first, and receive Holy Communion afterward. I know that the sacrament forgives venial sin, I am not sure about mortal sin in the case of someone no longer capable of making a good confession prior to receiving the sacrament - you would need to ask the priest that. The Catechism says that the sacrament "obtains the forgiveness of sins, if the sick person was not able to obtain it through the sacrament of Penance.
If a sick person who received this anointing recovers his health, he can in the case of another grave illness receive this sacrament again. If during the same illness the person's condition becomes more serious, the sacrament may be repeated. It is fitting to receive the Anointing of the Sick just prior to a serious operation. The same holds for the elderly whose frailty becomes more pronounced.
