Adds up fast for sure. If the stay is too big a hardship it might be worth checking in with the medical center's social work/case management department. Many hospitals and most education affiliated medical centers have lodging that is underwritten by their foundation or another charity. Sometimes patients/family can self refer but often the social worker needs to make the referral. I have seen a lot of families finances saved by this service when needing extended care.
