We are conveniently located approximately 2.5 miles from the Texas Medical Center. A shuttle is available to transport our guests to Scurlock Tower (Houston Methodist) Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The shuttle drop-off and pick-up is only at Scurlock Tower; it does not make other stops. Walking is required to reach the other transplant centers from the shuttle point.
No guest is ever turned away from Nora’s Home due to an inability to pay. For all guests, household income is taken into consideration when determining the nightly rate. Guests who are financially able to pay whether through insurance, income or Medicaid are asked to pay the standard nightly rate. Upon completion of the Resident Referral Form, a rate will be quoted to you.
Check-in starts at 3pm and check-out is at noon. For the sake of safety, first time guests are expected to check-in before 10pm at night. Once guests are checked-in they are free to come and go as they choose throughout their stay. There is staff on-site 24 hours.
All the rooms are outfitted with two queen-sized beds, recliner, TV, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. Each room sleeps up to four guests. Guests are only permitted one room per family. All necessary linens and towels are provided throughout your stay. Guests are expected to clean their room during lengthy stays. Parking and the use of the washers and dryers is complementary to our guests.
Although volunteer cooks prepare dinners occasionally, guests are expected to provide their own meals when volunteers are not scheduled. Our kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and silverware. Each room has a designated shelf in the community refrigerator along with a personal locker to store non-perishable items. Donated dry/canned goods, as well as bread, eggs, and milk are available at times. The kitchen is also equipped with a freezer, microwave and a variety of small kitchen appliances. Coffee is made fresh each morning.
