Check with the American Cancer Society - they have Hope Lodges near hospitals where patients and caregivers can stay for free - the one in Baltimore is fabulous - patients at Univ of MD Hospital and Johns Hopkins stay there. Shuttles provided back and forth to the hospital. A hotel atmosphere - but warm and inviting and everything you need. Information on the American Cancer Society website.
