Need help and advice. Where to stay for transplant review in JAX?
Transplants | Last Active: Mar 31 7:53pm | Replies (33)Comment receiving replies
Hello!
My husband and I are going to be heading for Jacksonville soon so I can get a new liver, and we need to figure out an accessible place to stay for the duration, and we absolutely must have a decent kitchen. Where have others stayed when you're there for treatment? On our previous visits, we've stayed at hotels, but we weren't there for more than 2 weeks at a time. I got a list of some options from one of the social workers there, but it was a short list and had few details.
Thanks!

We stayed at hotel about a block or two from the clinic. We had a great time at the clinic and also exploring the beach which is close by. It was a positive experience!

Jedi, How exciting to be soon getting a new liver.
We have several members who have given tips about accommodation at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville in this related discussion:

As a transplant recipient, I know you will be in need of a long-term stay, so I moved your question to this existing discussion about transplant stays in JAX where members are talking about options available including the Gabriel House of Care Jacksonville, FL

Fellow Mayo JAX transplant recipients and caregivers like @gaybinator @corn50 @tjgisewhite @coastalgirl might have additional tips.
Jedi, have you already inquired at the Gabriel House?
