Where to stay while having radiation at Mayo Clinic Rochester?

Posted by merrijohnson @merrijohnson, Aug 23, 2019

We are looking for lodging/housing for my brother & family while he undergoes 6 weeks of chemo/radiation at Mayo. We were told by his doctor that free lodging is available for patients receiving radiation, but we aren't having any success in finding any. Any advice is appreciated.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Visiting Mayo Clinic Support Group.

Are there any groups near he phoenix’s campus I start my second round of radiation April 1 for a month

Hi @jibway, I moved your question to this existing discussion where members are sharing tips for lodging during radiation. There is a Hope Lodge in Jacksonville, Florida as well as the other Mayo locations in Rochester and Phoenix.

See more info here:

I was offered the opportunity to stay at Hope Lodge while having SBRT prostate therapy at Mayo Rochester at no charge in December 2022. This offer is not available to anyone who has not been COVID "vaccinated."

I finished Radiation Therapy at the Mayo Clinic in Phx in Nov 2022. Stayed 40 days at https://helpinhealinghome.org It "worked" for me. They have a waiting list. The Mayo Clinic Social Worker suggested it. I think the American Cancer Society in Phx no longer offers this option. Not sure. Good luck.

@desip, many hospitals have free lodging for cancer patients. Are you having radiation at Mayo Clinic? If yes, which location?

@desip. Many cancer centers have a Hope Lodge that is run by the American Cancer Society. The lodging is at no cost to patients scheduled for radiation or chemotherapy treatments. If there is a Hope Lodge where you are getting your treatment then ask the radiation oncology practice about submitting an application for you as it must come from an oncology practice. When I was scheduled for radiation therapy at Mayo Clinic in Rochester this was part of my package for scheduling.
