Tracey,
It's part of the transplant medical care, so her same insurance covered it.
The "cottage" is like a studio apartment. We both stayed there. I took care of her medicine schedule and woke her up when it was nearing time to go to the radiation room, by shuttle golf cart.
There's a little kitchen, and I brought easy-to-prepare food and fed myself. She was unable to eat (the radiation made her too nauseous) but some patients eat just fine.
We were there Tuesday thru Friday during radiation and Saturday and Sunday for resting. Then she moved to an inpatient room for chemo and the transplant.
The system could easily have changed, since that was in 1998, but the cottages are still there and they look the same on the outside!
