Twice Blessed is affiliated with Baylor University Medical Center (BUMC). It is conveniently located within The Marquis on Gaston at the corner of Malcolm X. There is a shuttle service to BUMC Roberts Bldg, but, unless it's too hot you can just walk over. Deep Ellum is just one block over, so, there is lots of eating and entertainment within walking distance.
Twice Blessed is where out of town patients and their care giver stay post Transplant, for approximately 90 days. During that 90 days you and your care giver are going to clinics, education classes, physical therapy, dialysis, or whatever is appropriate. Apartments are $50 a night for a single which has two twin beds (I call this the Lucy and Ricky Apt) all utilities paid.
Apartments are fully furnished with a small T.V., free WIFI, couch, recliner, dinette, stove, refrigerator, washer, dryer, coffee pot, can opener, silverware, pots, pans, and, some dishes. Everything is of cheap quality, but, it is appreciated. The commode is only bolted on one side. When you lean, it leans. Catch my point? It also leaks like crazy. But, don't worry, if you fall off the pot, Fire Station #3 is right across the street.
There are rules you are supposed to follow. They say no to smoking, alcohol, and, pets. Not even a goldfish is allowed! Trash is to be placed into a black can and sat outside the apt Su - Thur from 1800 - 2000. I've always been a rebel when it comes to authority. Just sayin' I don't always play by the rules. Small apt, appx 600 sq ft. For convenience at $50 a night, I really can't complain. I am fortunate to have these services made available to us. God Bless Twice Blessed!! read more
