About the Hospital
UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital
UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital is the region's only academic medical center, located on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. It is nationally ranked by U.S. News & World Report and serves as a referral center for patients across the Rocky Mountain region and beyond.
Why Families Need Nearby Lodging
Families travel from across Colorado and neighboring states for specialized cancer treatment, organ transplants, clinical trials, and complex surgeries not available at community hospitals. Extended treatment plans often mean families need affordable lodging for days or weeks at a time.
Denver Mennonite Guest Home provides an affordable, home-like alternative to hotels and extended-stay lodging near UCHealth. Whether you're traveling from out of state or across Colorado for medical care, our nonprofit guest home gives families a comfortable place to rest — with a full kitchen, private rooms, and no minimum stay.
Please note: While our standard stay is up to two weeks, families managing transplant care, long chemotherapy schedules, or a clinical trial at UCHealth often need to stay longer. Contact us to talk through your timeline — we do our best to accommodate.
Lodging During Treatment
Staying Near UCHealth During Cancer Treatment, a Transplant, or a Clinical Trial
Many families come to the Anschutz Medical Campus for care that unfolds over weeks rather than days. Denver Mennonite Guest Home gives those families an affordable home base about 20–25 minutes away — close enough to be at the hospital each morning, with a quiet place to rest each night.
Cancer treatment
Chemotherapy and radiation at the CU Cancer Center often mean daily visits across several weeks. A private room with a full kitchen lets families settle in and cook their own meals instead of eating out near the hospital every day.
Organ and bone marrow transplant
Transplant patients and their caregivers usually need to stay close to Anschutz before surgery and throughout a long recovery and monitoring period. We can extend stays beyond our usual two weeks by arrangement — just call to talk through your timeline.
Clinical trials
Patients accepted into a clinical trial at University of Colorado Hospital often travel from out of state for evaluations and follow-up visits. We offer a stable, low-cost place to stay in between appointments.
Rest for caregivers
Every room has a private bathroom and a queen bed. On-site laundry makes longer stays easier, a shared family living area gives everyone room to gather, and our home is wheelchair accessible for guests managing mobility needs.
As a Mennonite nonprofit, we keep the suggested donation at just $50 per night, and no one is turned away for inability to pay. Our hope is simply to give families one less thing to worry about during a difficult season.
