TWICE BLESSED HOME
PROVIDING A HOME FOR
TRANSPLANT PATIENTS
AND THEIR FAMILIES
Transplant recipients and their families are faced
with many questions and challenges. When will
I get my transplant? How long will my recovery
take? What will my quality of life be after the
transplant? Will my insurance cover the costs?
For recipients who live more than 50 miles
from one of our centers, a top-of-mind
concern is where they will stay prior to and
after the transplant.
Twice Blessed House (TBH) solves the housing
issue for Baylor Dallas and Baylor Scott & White –
Fort Worth transplant recipients. Located just steps
away from the medical center campus, TBH offers
a home-like atmosphere that encourages recovery
and houses a community of other recipients
and their families who are at different stages of
their transplant experience. Through frequent
community activities, weekly dinners, arts and
crafts nights, game nights, movie nights and other
outings, residents of TBH become their own
support network, giving each other hope, strength
and inspiration.
Each of the apartments at TBH includes a washer
and dryer, cable TV and DVD player, wireless
internet, free local phone service, private mailbox,
linens and towels, vacuum cleaner, coffee maker,
microwave, mop and broom, dishes and glassware,
silverware and cooking utensils, pots and pans and
an iron and ironing board. A shuttle provides free
transportation to the hospital and the grocery store.
8,881 transplant patients
and donors received
temporary housing
from TBH.
17,078 caregivers received
temporary housing
from TBH.
Each of the 46 TBH
apartments in Dallas and
the five in Fort Worth
provide a home away from
home and community
activities and support.
