My husband, Gary, was diagnosed with very agressive multiple myeloma in December 2012. We came to Rochester Mayo Clinic in March of 2013 for a consult. Dr. Dingli recommended autologous stem cell transplant to hopefully give Gary many more years of quality life. The doctor informed us it would require a 6-week stay in Rochester. We checked out our lodging options and knew that a Serenity House Network home would work perfectly, especially since we would have a change in caregivers throughout our stay.
We moved into the Julianna apartment on May 1st, which worked out beautifully since Gary’s transplant was scheduled for May 2nd. This home had everything we needed for comfort and relaxing. A nice, big kitchen with all the necessities that we have at home. The 2nd bedroom was perfect for an extra, comfortable bed when needed.
The drive to Mayo was easy and quick and we purchased a parking pass right away, so we never worried about parking or having cash on hand to pay. The Julianna apartment is close to grocery stores, and big box stores for all our daily needs. A couple of favorite restaurants in town are Hunan Chinese which is in Soldier’s Field Plaza, Mac’s Cafe downtown, and while Gary was wearing his mask and we needed a place seated in a quiet area, Perkin’s and Red Lobster were good options in the middle of the afternoon.
Our favorite entertainment was just driving around Rochester, exploring the city, and looking at the beautiful, unique homes up on the hill behind St. Mary’s Hospital.
Thanks to Greg and Jodie for providing these homes to medical patients, where they can come “home” from appointments every day to a place to totally relax in comfort. And thanks, Greg, for removing the snow off our vehicle on May 3rd (!!!) while we were still getting ready to go to the morning appointment.
We will definitely recommend these homes to anyone we know needing a temporary place of lodging while needing medical care. And now, we are departing and we pray that God will continue to heal Gary and he can enjoy life to the fullest for many years. God has treated him well during his recovery and we pray it will continue.
Thank you again,
