Find Care & Housing
If mom can bear her own weight:
Get her onto her hands and knees near the bed or a sturdy chair. Have her use the bed or chair to "climb up" into a standing position or onto the bed or chair.

If mom can not bear her own weight:
Consider renting a "lift" that she can sit or lie on the sling portion. Then, you attach the sling to the lift and crank it or push the button to lift her off the ground. Best if there is a chair or bed nearby to "lift" her onto.

Mikurotoro92: Per Google "Stay calm, look for injuries.
Set a chair by their feet and another by their head.
Roll the senior onto their side, help them into a kneeling position.
Have them brace their hands on the chair in front of them.
Help them put a single leg up toward the chair, as if doing knee lunges.
Reposition the other chair behind them until they can achieve a sitting position."

Disclaimer: Not my authoring.

As with any fall, EMTs have the training to properly handle an elder's fall and are often called for a 'slip and fall' to get the person up off the floor WITHOUT injuring self. A friend, who is a retired Emergency Medical Technician in my mother's town came into her home many times for just that.

The brother is stated as the one lifting Mom up again each time.

When he can't, a neighbour has been called it seems.

Not sure there can be a better solution unfortunately - if Mom is a stroke survivor & a frequent faller.
