Special dietary needs can be addressed in this manner, and guests share the walnut dining rooms or smaller brick dining room overlooking the patio. The patio, with umbrella tables, grill, and patio furniture, on the east side of the house, is a favorite spot to eat or relax during the summer, spring, and fall seasons. The Gift of Life Transplant House is licensed by The State of Minnesota and Olmsted County Public Health Department. Guests are responsible for doing their own personal, bath, and bed linens. Quilts and laundry baskets are provided in each bedroom.
Guests bring their own laundry products.
A sewing machine is available or guests may bring their own. The housekeeping staff use commercial equipment and products to ensure meticulous cleanliness and a healthy environment for the immune-suppressed transplant patients. As in homes everywhere, The Gift of Life Transplant House recognizes the need people have for activities that enable them to spend time alone or with friends, family, and fellow patients doing fun and communal activities. We have billiards, TV, sunrooms, gas-insert fireplaces in the cozy library and gracious living room, an exercise and playroom, and big cushy couches and chairs. Many card games, puzzles, and parties take place at The Gift of Life Transplant House.
