Short-Term Rentals for Healthcare Workers: The Perfect Solution

Like many other rigorous and rewarding jobs, careers in the healthcare industry may involve travel. Traveling healthcare professionals know finding a safe and comfortable apartment without signing a year-long lease is challenging. Hotels and home-shares are options, but they’re often expensive or unreliable.

Another solution can provide the ideal balance of comfort, convenience, and cost-efficiency. Enter short-term rentals for healthcare workers, also known as corporate housing. See for yourself why traveling doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals love this form of housing.

11 Reasons Short-Term Housing is Great for Healthcare Professionals

We all want one thing when traveling for work: a place to lay our head at the end of the day that feels like home. It’s difficult to feel that way in a hotel or someone else’s house.

However, a furnished apartment with its spaciousness, bespoke design, full kitchen, and separate rooms, is a home away from home. That’s enough to make any traveler feel a little more grounded.

Healthcare workers especially need a place of refuge after a long day of caring for others. These 11 reasons show why short-term housing for medical professionals is the perfect solution.

1. No Long-Term Lease Required

Moving into an apartment often requires signing a year-long lease. Unless you want to attempt the lengthy, challenging, and costly process of breaking a lease, you’re locked in. Committing to such a timeframe isn’t feasible for medical professionals on a short-term assignment.

A short-term furnished apartment can accommodate stays lasting as little as a few weeks or longer than a year. There’s no need to sign a lengthy lease, and you can accept new last-minute work transfers as they arise.

2. No Security Deposit or Broker Fees

Moving into an apartment often requires signing a one or even two-year lease, which you’re then locked into – unless you want to attempt the lengthy, challenging, costly and no-guarantee process of breaking a lease. For medical professionals on a short-term assignment, committing to such a timeframe isn’t feasible. Alternatively, a short-term furnished apartment can accommodate stays of as little as a few weeks, or longer than a year if necessary. There’s no need to sign a lengthy lease.

3. Fully Equipped Kitchens

A long-term hotel stay has a hidden cost that’s often overlooked: dining out. Without a kitchen in the room, guests have to eat out at restaurants for most meals, which can quickly add up.

A furnished apartment includes a fully equipped kitchen with full-sized appliances, including an oven, stove, refrigerator, freezer, sink, microwave, and dishwasher. Cookware and kitchenware are also included, from pots and pans to plates and glasses.

Guests can cook their own meals and save significant money on food. It’s easy to prioritize healthy meals in the convenience of your own cooking space, and you can even whip up a favorite entrée if you’re missing home.

4. Locations Near Medical Facilities

Short-term furnished apartments are often found in centralized locations, within walking distance of major medical facilities or public transportation. This is a huge advantage for healthcare workers traveling without a vehicle.

Healthcare workers can easily get home after a long shift or quickly get to work when called in for emergencies. Living nearby also offers enhanced safety if a shift ends while it’s still dark outside, as you’ll be heading just a short distance to get home.

5. WiFi and Utilities Are Included

It’s hard to believe that many hotels still charge guests for WiFi access, but they do. Even if it’s complimentary, internet services are often slow and unreliable.

WiFi is always included in the monthly cost of a furnished short-term apartment, as are utilities. At Furnished Quarters you not only get top-speed WiFi, but you also get DirecTV. All your internet and entertainment services will be up and working as soon as you move in.

6. Easy Check-In Process

Checking into a hotel is easy enough, but renting a home is a different story. You may find yourself searching for a hidden lockbox in the dark, unable to reach your host for the door code, or having to tell the doorman you’re the host’s visiting relative.

Contrarily, the check-in process for a furnished apartment is standardized and simple. You’ll know exactly when, how, and where to enter without having to sneak around. And if you have any problems entering, there’s a team available to you 24/7 to help.

7. Move-In Ready

At Furnished Quarters, when we say move-in ready, we really mean it. Not only does corporate housing come furnished, but it’s also fully equipped with everything from towels and linens to pots and pans. There’s no need to set up utilities or internet, either!

The normal stressors of finding a new place are gone! Just bring yourself and your suitcase, and you’ll immediately feel at home.

8. Cleanliness

Doctors and nurses are around enough bacteria and illnesses at work—the last thing they need is a living space that exposes them to even more germs. Hotels and rental homes constantly have people coming and going. Even with regular housekeeping services, that’s a lot of germ exposure.

Furnished apartments see far fewer people and foot traffic, so traveling healthcare workers can rest assured that they’re not exposed to new pathogens. Our expert cleaning staff deep cleans between guests to ensure everything is completely sanitized and fresh when you arrive.

Many furnished apartments also have a washer and dryer within the unit, allowing healthcare workers to launder their scrubs immediately upon getting home.

9. Pet-Friendly

Pets are part of the family, too, and they often need to accompany us during travel. Don’t fret—most furnished apartments are pet-friendly! Many even have pet amenities like dog parks, relief areas, or grooming stations.

Not to mention, for pets as well as humans, an apartment is a much more comfortable place to stay long-term than a hotel. Your pet can relax comfortably and live in style while they wait for you to come home from your shift.

10. 24/7 Guest Services

One thing that sets Furnished Quarters apart from the rest of the rental crowd is our 24/7 guest services. Need help finding a dry cleaner, dog walker, or restaurant with vegan options? We’ve got you covered!

With access to guest services at any time, your stay at Furnished Quarters will become the experience of a lifetime. You can maximize your stay in any area, exploring great eateries and places to sightsee during your downtime.

11. The Perfect Place to Relax

Medical shifts are often long and arduous, leaving workers feeling mentally and physically exhausted. Returning to a hotel would mean stiff furniture and tight living quarters.

Going home to a Furnished Quarters short-term housing location involves a luxury apartment where you can truly relax. You can make a hot cup of tea in your kitchen and curl up on a soft couch, then unwind by watching a movie, reading a book, or going to bed early. You have so many options for a truly comfortable stay.
