Benefits of Host-Home Lodging

Having family members present is of direct benefit to both patients and family members. Patients need the support of family members as they navigate complex health care systems and decisions. Family members need a place to go to restore their energy and thus be best able to help their hospitalized loved one each day.

For both patients and family members, staying at a host-home provides a place where guests witness that life goes on normally, providing a break from their all-consuming medical crises.

Indeed, for patients who are hospitalized, there is peace of mind in knowing that their loved ones
are staying at a home with a caring host-family, rather than being alone at a hotel.
