At both the Henson Avenue and Burdick Street houses, there are six 2-person bedrooms and one “family” bedroom, all with private baths. At times, our guests ask to share a room. Guests may recognize each other from the hospital and want to room together. We have found that our guests appreciate the company and support of others facing similar situations.
If you need a place to stay, ask the patient’s care team to provide a referral. Generally, you will be directed to a social worker, chaplain or case manager at the hospital or treatment center. They are able to make the necessary referral for you.
