A Guide to Temporary Housing for Traveling Nurses & Medical Professionals

  • Posted on

Traveling nurses and medical professionals face a unique challenge: finding housing that feels like home during often-demanding and short-notice assignments. Whether you're in town for a 13-week contract, a locum tenens placement, or an extended medical rotation, having a reliable, comfortable place to stay is critical for your performance and peace of mind.

Here’s what to look for—and how ABODES can help.

1. Location, Location, Location
Proximity to hospitals, clinics, and public transportation is a must. ABODES properties in Rochester are located just minutes from major hospitals, including Strong Memorial, Rochester General, and Unity Hospital.

2. Fully Furnished = Fully Functional
Forget the air mattress and folding chair. You’ll want a real bed, a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and a cozy place to decompress after a 12-hour shift. At ABODES, you get all that—plus original art, high-speed WiFi, and tasteful design.

3. Flexible Lease Terms
Assignments vary in length, and plans can change. We offer flexibility in our bookings to accommodate both short-term and extended stays without locking you into rigid lease terms.

4. Quiet, Clean, and Safe
Medical professionals need real rest. That’s why our units are located in quiet neighborhoods and are consistently praised for cleanliness, privacy, and serenity.

5. Instant Book, Instant Confidence
When you're juggling patient care, credentialing, and logistics, the last thing you need is a complicated housing situation. With ABODES, booking is easy, and communication is clear.
