HeartBrothers Foundation
Housing near treatment centres, practical assistance, and peer support for heart-failure and transplant patients.
Best for
Heart-failure and transplant patients who need to be near a treatment centre for an extended period.
Why Kave includes this
Combines the two things heart-failure patients ask for most and rarely get from one place: somewhere to stay near the hospital, and someone who has been through it. Kave lists the geographic constraint prominently — some services are concentrated near specific centres, and that is the first thing to check.
