Long hospital stay in ICU, helping with Accommodation

My good friend has been admitted to ICU, and we need help to get her family housed near the hospital she is in, as they are not from England.

Would anyone have any ideas/thoughts of charities, companies that would help provide funding for accommodation and travel for her family in this instance? It will be a long ICU stay. We are based in Oxford.

Thanks

Speak to the ICU - sometimes they have access to accommodation in these circumstances

HiI presume you are talking about the John Ratcliffe group. As Sepsur suggests speak first to ICU but you could also make contact with the group charity ouh.nhs.uk/charity/

Failing that try PALS at the hospital.

I also noticed that booking.com (other sites available) were offering discounts on accommodation near the JR
