Is air bnb a possibility?

Try AirBnB or Verbo. Another option might be to contact a local real estate agent or property manager and ask what they have available. If you live in a small town where AirBnB/Verbo options may not be available, you might try advertising in your local paper as well.

You could also check with the hospital where your brother is having his surgeries. Every hospital has a social worker who makes sure that patients have resources after discharge, etc. If you contact them now, they may be able to give you some good information.

The site Nextdoor. Plenty of people need short term housing...your neighbors may have a room or a rental available to the right person....Or....rent a motor home....? You said your out in the country...maybe you have room for a motorhome to be parked near your house?

We rented a furnished apartment when our new house wasn't completed on time. It was advertised as 'corporate housing', and there were also some service members and their families staying there temporarily.

Local real estate. My sister needed something similar 2 years ago when going through radiation for breast cancer. She rented a fully furnished apartment (on a month-by-month basis) not far from me (and yes I did offer my spare room to her but she wanted a place of her own).

I was going to suggest hospital too, but I don't know how far out of town you are talking about for your mothers back and forth trips. A friend of mine needed a 6 months rental on the other side of the state a few years ago, the hospital where she was being treated helped her arrange low cost accommodations. They weren't special, but secure, clean and walking distance to the hospital.

I would also check Craigs list. Usually a lot of sub lets available. When we were in Houston for an extended hospital stay, the Hospital had a list of what is available, in particular church sponsored apartment's

I would start with airbnb, then vrbo, then ask the hospital for recommendations. All good suggestions. Good luck to your brother as he recovers!

A motor home or rv at a local rv park. It's not usually feasible to park one at one's home and use it because it must have a proper electrical outlet usually 50 amp and must have a way to dump the septic system. We have our rv in the driveway and our septic tank for the house is nearby with a top we can open and dump the waste from the rv into it. Any rv or motor home will need regular dumping for waste and dirty water.

But rv parks and trailer parks often have rentals.

Real estate agents are also a great resource.

Another vote for checking first with the hospital. If the area isn't too small or remote, most should be dealing with such requests on a regular basis for both patients and their families. I'm surprised there wouldn't be one or more hotels/motels near the hospital.

The limited and smallish living, HVAC, cooking, and bathroom facilities of a trailer may not be suitable for someone undergoing two surgeries.

If you have a rehab facility near you he may be eligible to stay there up to 100 days to recover. Medicare will pay if he is age eligible, admitting right from hospital is necessary.

When I broke my hip I stayed in a rehab place for several weeks and it was covered by the insurance. I needed around the clock care because I couldn't walk or take of myself like bathe or make meals. They even thought it was too much for DH to do. What kind of surgery is he having? Will he be mobile and able to take care himself? We got suggestions of places from the hospital. DH visited them all, while I was still in the hospital, to find the best one.

Yes my mom had to stay in a rehab facility for a while after her surgeries

Well, living in retirement home there is lots the come straight from hospital to be cared for and recover until doctor says they can go back home and work for some of them. We had a very young guy that broke his ankle and was not allowed to walk on it and moved in for months and then left. And we get many different ones come for different lengths of time.

So, that is a thought too but it costs and if need caregivers that cost too but whether its at an apartment or retirment you pay for those helpers to help out. One thing is meals here but if you can't make it to dining room, you pay $8.00 a tray. Oh, yes, you also pay for meals in dining room but you have things going on if you can participate with them.

I found out the young guy did jigsaw puzzles to keep himself busy and we had kids that came here and he got involved with them and the kids love having him.

And another lady but she says the doctors appointment she must go too takes up a lot of her time but she does try a bit if possible and chats in the dining room, she uses a walker to get around and is eager to leave and go back home where her husband is tending pets and land they have and live too far to come for visits.

So, it depends on the care and money and what is available around him and can he care for himself? Shopping, meals, driving and all that?????

I know this sounds like a long shot, but I would check in with some of the local rental offices for some of the local corporate owned complexes to see if they have any renters who are looking for someone to take over the remainder of their lease.

When we moved to Michigan, we didn't want to lease for 1-2 years. The first place I called told me they had a guy who had accepted a job upstate and needed to terminate the lease but he still had 4 - 6 months remaining on it. We took it over and by the time it was up for renewal, we were ready to close on our new home. It was a win win for everyone involved.

Again, check with the hospital. There are a series of facilities in Pittsburgh, quite near the various hospitals etc that offer quite reasonable housing. They offer suites, and a common, large, semi-professional kitchen with cupboard, refrigerator and freezer space for each resident. There is a lot of comradery both in the kitchen area and the many common areas with books, puzzles, games etc.
