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

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?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Transplants Support Group.

I’d consider Broadway Plaza hotel. Rooms have full kitchen, dining area, and living room. About the same cost as a hotel. Connected to the clinic by skyway.

@bevprescott, I would suggest that you contact (I prefer phone call) the Rental company that you are considering and have a chat with them about their policy. My personal thought is to make a reservation as soon as you know a date.
My husband and I stayed at the Gift of Life House when I had my liver and kidney transplant. We did not have the option of reserving a room (not their policy) and I had a deceased donor that could not be scheduled in advance. I was admitted directly to Rochester Methodist from Kentucky, and my husband made a hotel reservation for himself while while I was prepared for medical flight. He was very lucky that a room was available for him at GOL on 2nd day there. He stayed there until I was able to join him.

Have you considered contacting your coordinator or team social worker about what other patients have done?
