A Comfortable Place to Stay During Medical Care in Rochester

Coming to Rochester for surgery, treatment, rehabilitation, or specialized medical care can mean spending days, weeks, or even several months away from home.

ABODES provides fully furnished apartments for patients, caregivers, and family members who need a comfortable temporary place to live while receiving care or supporting a loved one in Rochester.

A furnished apartment can provide considerably more privacy, space, and day-to-day comfort than an extended hotel stay, particularly when treatment schedules are uncertain or family members will be in Rochester for an extended period.

Housing for Patients, Caregivers & Families

Temporary medical housing may be helpful for many different situations, including:

• A family member undergoing major surgery
• Cancer treatment or recurring outpatient care
• Transplant-related care
• Rehabilitation and follow-up appointments
• An extended hospitalization
• A caregiver accompanying a patient to Rochester
• Families who need to remain close to a hospitalized loved one
• Patients who need temporary housing before returning home
• Medical appointments or treatment requiring repeated visits to Rochester

Every situation is different, so we encourage guests to tell us what hospital or medical facility they need to reach, their anticipated dates, and any special housing requirements.

Housing Near Rochester Medical Centers

Rochester is home to several major hospitals and specialized medical facilities.

ABODES offers furnished apartments in Rochester locations that may provide convenient access to facilities including Strong Memorial Hospital and University of Rochester Medical Center, Golisano Children’s Hospital, Highland Hospital, Rochester General Hospital, Unity Hospital, and other healthcare providers throughout the area.

UR Medicine itself maintains lodging resources for patients and families visiting Strong, Golisano Children’s, and Highland Hospitals, while Rochester Regional Health social workers assist patients and families with lodging resources when needed.

Tell us where your appointments or hospital stay will take place and we can help identify the most appropriate available ABODES property.

More Space Than a Hotel Room

When a medical stay lasts more than a few nights, everyday comforts can make an enormous difference.

Depending on the property, ABODES furnished apartments may include:

• Fully equipped kitchens
• Separate living and sleeping areas
• One- and two-bedroom options
• High-speed Wi-Fi
• Laundry facilities
• Garage or off-street parking
• Dedicated workspaces
• Pet-friendly options
• Fitness facilities
• Outdoor spaces
• Downtown and residential neighborhood locations

Having a kitchen, living room, and private sleeping space can be especially helpful when several family members are sharing accommodations or when a caregiver needs to remain in Rochester for an extended period.

Flexible Stay Lengths

Medical schedules do not always fit neatly into a hotel reservation or traditional lease.

Some ABODES properties allow shorter stays, while others require a minimum stay of 30 days. Month-to-month and multi-month accommodations may also be available depending on the property and dates.

If you are uncertain how long treatment or recovery will take, please tell us when you inquire. When availability permits, extensions may be possible.

A Place for Caregivers to Rest and Recharge

Supporting someone through a major medical procedure or extended treatment can be demanding.

A private furnished apartment gives caregivers and family members a place to prepare meals, do laundry, work remotely when necessary, and simply decompress away from the hospital environment.

For families traveling together, having separate rooms and normal living space can also make a longer Rochester stay considerably easier.

Patients Receiving Outpatient Treatment

Not every person coming to Rochester for medical care will be admitted to a hospital.

Patients undergoing recurring outpatient treatment, follow-up care, rehabilitation, or procedures over several weeks may also benefit from having a furnished apartment rather than repeatedly booking hotel rooms.

ABODES can help identify available housing that fits the anticipated length of stay and location of care.
