Family Housing
Keeping Families Close During Treatment
We know families may be apprehensive about sending their loved one far from home for treatment after a traumatic injury.
That’s why Shepherd Center works hard to ensure that families can stay close by and provide patients with much-needed support, without the added financial burden of hotel costs.
Shepherd Center provides donor-funded housing to families of newly injured rehabilitation patients, if both the family and patient live more than 60 miles from the hospital. Families of inpatients will be able to stay in their apartments for the entire duration of their loved one’s stay
Please refer to our list of nearby hotels or apartments that offer a special rate for Shepherd Center patients/families. You can also discuss this with your case manager.
If you will need housing while your loved one is at Shepherd Center, please notify the admissions liaison who is handling your admission to Shepherd Center, or contact our housing coordinator, at 404-350-7557.
Day Program Housing
Housing is also available for patients and families in Shepherd Center's Spinal Cord Injury Day Program if both the family and patient live more than 60 miles from the hospital.
