Support organization
Kathy's House provides reduced-cost lodging for patients of any age and their caregivers when medical care at an accredited Milwaukee-area hospital requires a stay of at least three nights and the permanent home is at least 50 miles away. A healthcare provider must submit the referral, a patient staying in the house must have a caregiver throughout the stay, and prospective guests undergo safety and self-care screening. Standard rooms cost $50 per night with no tax or added fee, reduced rates may be available, and inability to pay does not by itself disqualify a family. A separate limited two-room suite with a kitchenette is available at $60 per night for severely immunocompromised patients needing long-term isolation. Lodging includes kitchen and pantry access, some volunteer meals, laundry, parking, a Froedtert shuttle during office hours, work and recreation spaces, meditation space, and other shared amenities; actual room or suite availability must be confirmed after referral.

Patient Support Material
This public audio archive discusses serious illness, blood cancer, bone-marrow transplantation, caregiving, guest community, meals, art, children, and caregiver support. It may offer perspective and emotional preparation for patients and caregivers, but it is not individualized navigation or a regularly scheduled support group. The latest episode located was December 15, 2025, so the record is an available archive rather than a promise of ongoing publication.
Topics: blood cancer, bone marrow transplant, caregiving, emotional support, family lodging, guest community

The public tour and amenities pages use photographs, written descriptions, embedded 3D room views, and a 360-degree video to help prospective patients and caregivers understand standard rooms, the isolation suite, kitchens, laundry, work, fitness, meditation, parking, and shared spaces before a stay. The resource is free and does not require registration, though caption and translated-format availability are not published.
Topics: accessibility, isolation suite, lodging planning, parking and location, room configuration, shared amenities
