Long Term Lodging In Nyc For For Treatment At Sloan/Kettering

Hi, Marty --

I would suggest checking with Gilda's Club in NYC to see if they have suggestions, and also with Ronald McDonald House.  Although the latter only deals with kids (I believe), they may well be able to offer advice.  Have you asked the people at Sloan for suggestions? 

 Good luck --

Hi again --

 I was on the Amercian Cancer society site just now for something else and saw a reference to "Hope Lodges," which provide "free, temporary housing facilities for cancer patients who are undergoing treatment."  There are 22 around the country, and one is supposed to open in NYC this fall (not sure when).  Here's the contact information:

WESTIN HOTEL GUESTROOM PROGRAM

No cost accommodations

A cooperative effort of the American Cancer Society (ACS), and the Westin Hotel.

The program provides accommodations, based on availability, to cancer patients receiving treatment.  The Westin Hotel donates the room and waives the tax. However, occupants are responsible for any

other charges incurred during their stay. A $75.00 deposit will be secured from the guest upon check-in to the hotel to cover any

of these charges. It will be refunded if unused. Do not call the hotel directly. All applications must first be screened by ACS.

Applications are considered on a first-come, first-served basis.
