Our Apartments

Each of the one-bedroom guest units is truly a home-away-from-home. Every unit is equipped with two or more beds and plenty of linens, pillows, and towels for families to use during their stay. There are televisions in the bedroom and living room as well as WiFi, cable and a dvd player. There is also a fully equipped kitchen stocked with basic foods prior to each family’s arrival. A washer/dryer in the unit and a supply of movies, toys, books, and games, allows our families to feel “at home” when dealing with the stress of a sick child.
