Need advice About dad..... ?

Ok so my dad is going to have to get hip surgery this year. He is hardly on board with getting it but he has finally realized that it is necessary. Long story short it's not going to be possible for him to recover at our house. We have a condo that my sister is currently living in that he could recover in, but the problem is there are steps to get to the condo. Has anyone ever been through hip surgery or known someone that has? How extensive is the recovery process? How intense is the actual surgery? What is the after surgery process like? Thanks!
