We rented this apartment with Serenity House Network to use for follow up appointments after a heart transplant.

The decor is very warm and welcoming. To our surprise at least 2 of the oil paintings were donations from my mom who lived in Rochester years ago. Seeing those paintings and a cardinal the first day made this feel like our home away from home and it truly felt like this is where we were meant to be.

Thank you Greg and June Ann for being so accommodating.

James apartment at Serenity House Network has been a lifesaver. Through the entire transplant process we always had a “home away from home” to come to at the end of appointments. 

The staff at SHN is awesome! It was so good to talk to June Ann in our down times. The apartment was so clean and decorated so homey. 

We had set up our reservation and the doctors changed the plan. Greg was so helpful in changing our dates of stay which eliminated a lot of anxiety!

This place gave us peace in a difficult time.

Thank you to Serenity House Network for providing us with a clean and comfortable place to stay during radiation treatments. We appreciated having a “home away from home” during a difficult time.

After staying elsewhere for 3 weeks in Rochester, the James apartment felt like heaven!

We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the rabbits and squirrels. This place is truly a home away from home! Thank you for having this place Serenity House Network!

The kindness of Greg, June Ann, and Joanna was very comforting to us. After a day at the clinic seeing June Ann was a treat! Her cheerfulness was just the right thing to brighten our day!

To all who follow; Good luck and may God Bless!

Greg, June Ann, Tam, and everyone at Serenity House Network,

I don’t know if there are adequate words to express our gratitude. You have truly provided a home here. 

When we first realized how long we’d need to stay in Rochester I was filled with such panic and dread. Now we both feel so content, comfortable and peaceful here, all thanks to SHN. After reading many other entries it’s clear that many other families feel the same. You’ve inspired us to pay it forward when we leave. 

To other families who may read this:

We are cheering you on in spirit. You must be experiencing some truly life altering things as we are. Like Greg says, “No one comes here because they have a paper cut.” 

My mom Wendy is fighting glioblastoma and we came here for a second brain surgery and a clinical trial. 

I hope the calm, clean setting of SHN helps you as it has helped us. 

Endless thanks to SHN and strength to those after us.
