White River House Priscilla Apt: Tofanelli Family
Thank you so much for this nice apartment while John went through radiation treatments at Mayo. It was such a help to have a quiet and restful place to relax. The garage was wonderful during the winter months. The apartment was so clean and everything we needed was available which was a huge relief. Thanks so much!

Dear Greg and Jodie,
We feel so blessed to have been able to stay at the Patrick Apartment during the past 6 weeks. We were so very comfortable and secure here. You have truly thought of everything to make one’s stay pleasant.
Our daughter came for a week-end visit and she was so comfortable here that she mentioned several times what a good choice we made in housing.
We appreciated your prayers and Christian support as we went through the stem cell transplant treatment!

September 2013-March 2014 We stayed 6 months in the City View Sanctuary Condo and this condo has been a blessing on a difficult journey. It was home for 6 months and truly felt that way. The Serenity House Network staff was super.

Thank you for our wonderful stay. The condo was perfect!
Holly’s House Michael Apt: Frederick Family
We are so appreciative for having a homey, restful accommodation for our time here in Rochester. It was so much nicer, in numerous important ways, than a hotel. Thank you, Jodie and Greg, for providing this choice. It has made our experience with Mayo and the PRC (Pain Rehab Center) so much easier.
The staff and the PRC program have been wonderful and Lucy is getting back to living her life.
Rochester is pretty easy to find your way around.
The best restaurant we found was the Green Mill off West Circle Drive. We enjoyed ice skating at the Rec Center, skiing in Essex Park and Quarry Hill Park, the exhibits at the Art Center, climbing at Prairie Walls and more.
To future guests: We wish you the best results and hope you enjoy your time here in Rochester and at Serenity House Network.
Johnston House Quincy Apt: Turchan Family
After my husband’s 5 1/2 month hospital stay and heart transplant we needed a place to live in the Rochester area for 3 months. We learned of Serenity House Network through an internet search and word of mouth. We quickly realized that this was by far the best option for our family.
The newly renovated duplex was spacious, extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Our family was able to enjoy the holidays together, and Steve was able to rehab comfortably and safely. Jodie and Greg, and all the Serenity House Network “family” were always helpful and available. This has been a wonderful experience and we have made many memories in our “home away from home”. Thank you!!!

We are so grateful to have found Serenity House Network! It was so good to have such a comfortable place to come home to every day during my husband’s stem cell transplant. The loaf of Welcome Bread and the delicious pie from Baker’s Square on my birthday were a wonderful surprise – thank you!
Keep up the good work. SHN is truly a blessing for people needing a place to stay during difficult medical treatments. God’s blessings on you!

January 25 – February 21, 2014
After spending approximately 3 weeks in October, 1 week in November, and 4 days in January in hotels – we knew we needed a change! Being here 3 weeks for the PRC program would require a place that felt like home!
When Jodie answered the phone and said she had been through the program we knew had found our “home”. Reservation made – end of looking!
Arrival was to be the 26th of January, but one of Rochester’s blizzards was forecast for the day. Greg called and suggested we get here as soon as we could. We drove straight through the 25th and got here. Sure enough we were glad we did!
What a nice place to call “home” while our daughter went through the PRC program during one of Rochester’s coldest Februarys.
Thank you for your encouraging words in the PRC program every Thursday. It is encouraging to see the long-term positive successes of the program!
Sincerely,
Evy’s House: Bateman Family
January 4 – February 21, 2014 Thank you for all you have done for us. We have been grateful for this beautiful home and the peace we have felt here.
Serenity House Patrick Apt: Aberg Family
Greg and Jodie,
Thanks so much for providing such a wonderful, comfortable, homey home-away-from-home for us! The loaf of Welcome Bread from the bakery was delicious and very much appreciated! And then the Baker’s Square pie you brought for my husband’s birthday really expresses the concern and caring ways you bring to your guests.
God Bless you both,
PS Our daughter, Tracy, says thanks too, as she stayed with us some as she commutes to Rochester and works at St. Mary’s Hospital in the pediatric unit.
