How soon does one secure lodging for a 3 month stay? Mayo Rochester

Posted by bevprescott @bevprescott, Jan 31, 2024

Tentative date is late March, prefer a home atmosphere, looking at Covered by Faith rentals. I don't want to wait too long or do people secure lodging once have a date? Who can assist you with this process?

Check out Nazarene house. Excellent

What if it’s not a transplant? What if it’s back & ankle surgery & rehab visits daily?
I’d need to state there b/c I live in Florida!
PS: Mayo in Rochester is rated .#1 best hospitals but the Jacksonville Mayo rates #50? I called & what Jacksonville would do for a medical problem maybe a lot different from the care at Rochester! FYI

Wow, that’s interesting. I had my kidney transplant at Mayo Jacksonville and the hospital and team was wonderful. If you’ve found the physician you want to do your surgery I’d say schedule as early as you are able so you can ease your mind about accommodations. That way you can focus on your surgery and getting well. Good luck. I’m sure you will be well taken care of.

I’m just going to put this out here. We lived in Rochester for 4 1/2 months during the process of my husband’s allogenic stem cell transplant.
My husband found us a perfect furnished apartment on a month to month lease. It was a nice building, safe, super clean and only nine blocks from Mayo. We had access to indoor heated parking. The manager and the maintenance guy were the kindest people possible.
I’m going to shamelessly plug them because their help made our home away from home a refuge during some extremely difficult times. If you are facing allo transplant in Rochester, check out TheParkRochester.com
The manager is Beau Hebert. We are forever grateful.

Hi @dwolden. Wow, what a glowing testimonial for long term lodging. It’s difficult enough when we’re having to relocate for several months with a bone marrow transplant so finding a place that feels like home, is golden! Thank you for sharing!
