Gabriel House
I thought that I would pass on there is a place on the Mayo Clinic Jacksonville property called "The Gabriel House". It has a capacity of 28 patients who are either transplant patients or Chemo or Radiation patients and will be in treatment for 3 or more days. You must be referred to them by Mayo Clinic. It is truly unbelievable. You have a huge room, kitchen area, dining room, TV's, shuttle to and from the Clinic, and many many etc's. The cost is $35 a night as a lot of the expenses are covered by donation from major corporations, and churches, etc. 2-4 times a week a group will prepare and serve meals, (e.g.Band of Brother in Jacksonville, Research Dept of Mayo Clinic, etc.)
It provides the opportunity to discuss your disease with other patients, treatments, etc etc. If you are to stay there you must have a 24/7 caretaker live with you and be with you at all times. It is on a beautiful lake with a lanai to sit in while you eat or read, etc. Not sure how many may have the need to use Mayo for an extended time but if so it may be worthwhile to look into the Gabriel House and apply for admission if there is an opening. |
