I wonder if it would be a good idea to set up a bed, clothes storage, etc, on the ground floor of her house -- even if it has to be in the corner of the living room. In the long term, at her age, it is not going to be practical to have all the bedrooms upstairs.
She might even be able to stay in her house with the current injury, if she can sleep downstairs and have some one to help her (family or a hired caregiver).
I agree that the train would be as comfortable as an RV, and much simpler. I crossed the US by train with a broken foot, once. The stewards and red caps are very nice, and will drive you through the station on their electric trucks if you ask :)
There is not bathroom or toilet on the main floor.
IN a bedroom the bathroom is right there IN THE ROOM
We did already discuss that option and I wish it were possible, but this is an old house built in about 1911. It still has original plaster walls, hardwood floors etc. The main floor consists of kitchen, livingroom and diningroom, there is no room for a bathroom and putting one in would decrease the charm and value of this beautiful old home. Even the bathroom upstairs can not be remodeled as it has the original clawfoot tub.
