Welcome Home

Located just 2.5 miles away from the Texas Medical Center, Nora’s Home is Houston’s haven for organ failure and transplant patients and their families.

Nora’s Home offers lodging to solid organ transplant patients on any stage of their transplant journey, whether it’s for evaluation, during the wait, recovery post-transplant surgery, and throughout post-transplant follow-up care. Along with their caregivers, we serve patients traveling for heart, lung, kidney, liver, and pancreas organ transplants. At Nora’s Home you will find your home away from home while you are going through this stressful time in your life. Admission is based on availability.
