A,Hi all, not sure if there will be a response.
My parents finished their walk this past weekend to Santiago, but my mom had an accident and fell that resulted in surgery. They now will need to stay in the area for at least another 2 weeks for Physical Therapy until they are able to come home to the USA.
Finding accomodations, longer term, and that can handle a wheelchair/walker are difficult to find. No stairs is probably the most important.
Does anyone know of anything potentially we can look into?
Thanks

I second the earlier suggestion to contact @natefaith or @ivar (put the pointer on their forum names and click on "Start a conversation").I'll take any other suggestions if they exist.

Excellent idea.I guess you/ they already called or mailed your USA health insurance to see what is possible in terms of mobility aid?
There are probably several places in the old town with a large enough lift, but I don't know of any off the top of my head. think all new constructions need to have it by law (the problem would be that many hotels in the old town were constructed before this law.)
This one, for example, should be no problem:
The negatives: It might be pricey, and it is a 10-15 min walk to the cathedral (not in old town).

There is another entrance ,which is situated further along the hall ,after the reception area.As far as I am aware this entrance hasn't any steps.Yes, there is an elevator/lift at SMP. Interested to know what entrance would someone in a wheelchair use? The main entrance has some pretty steep (for shorter people, moi,) steps.
We stayed at Hotel Concheiros in a pleasant area of Santiago. The hotel had a lift. Small hotel, serves breakfast.Hi all, not sure if there will be a response.

In 2019 we rented an Airbnb apartment in Santiago. It had a lift. Plus cooking facilities and washing machine. Supermarket and restaurants close by.Thank you all for the replies.
Yes, we know how to Google and search. Someone above reminded me it was a criteria available. This was more an attempt to find places with availability last minute and could potentially accommodate a wheelchair often the more regular path.
They're ok for now, surgery went well and she'll be discharged soon. Then the longer road to recovery.
Appreciate the help, we can close this request.
