A real home near the hospital, for the length of the contract.
Furnished apartments a short drive from Atrium, Novant, Duke, UNC, WakeMed and Wake Forest Baptist, set up before your first shift and billed to you, your agency or the hospital. The 30-night minimum fits a 13-week contract; the stay extends if the contract does.
Who we house
Travel nurses and allied-health travelers on 13-week contracts; locum tenens physicians and CRNAs on assignments of a month or a season; residents, fellows and visiting faculty on a twelve-month appointment; clinical-research and pharma staff on a study; and the hospital systems and staffing agencies that place them. Since 2010 that has been a steady part of who stays with us in Charlotte, the Triangle, the Triad, Hickory, Wilmington and Fayetteville, and the reason most of our communities sit within fifteen minutes of a major hospital.
What a Stay apartment includes
A real unit in a real, professionally managed community, not a room in someone's house: bed made, kitchen stocked with cookware and dishes, towels and linens, washer and dryer in the unit, a sofa you would actually sit on, and the electricity, water, high-speed Wi‑Fi and TV already on and billed through us on one invoice. The community's pool, fitness center, package room and parking come with it, and night-shift guests appreciate a bedroom that faces away from the pool. You bring a suitcase and your badge.
How the billing works
Three ways, your choice. Clinicians on a housing stipend pay us directly by card or ACH, with a receipt each month that an agency will accept. Staffing agencies and hospital housing coordinators are invoiced directly, one invoice per stay or one consolidated monthly statement for a program with several clinicians, payable by ACH or card. GME offices placing residents and fellows for a year get one lease, one invoice a month and tax-exempt handling where the institution qualifies. Our corporate housing page has the program details.
Contracts change; the lease follows
The lease runs month to month from a 30-night minimum. A 13-week contract fits inside it; an extension, a second contract at the same hospital or a float to a sister campus rolls on in the same home with no new lease and no move. If a contract is cancelled, 30 days' notice ends the stay with no penalty. Stays of 90 nights or longer are exempt from North Carolina occupancy tax, which most residency and fellowship placements are.

Questions clinicians ask
Does a 13-week travel-nurse contract fit your minimum stay?
Yes. The minimum is 30 nights and the stay extends month to month, so a 13-week contract fits and an extension or a second contract rolls on in the same home with no new lease.
Can my staffing agency or the hospital be billed directly?
Yes. We invoice staffing agencies, hospital housing coordinators and GME offices directly, one invoice per stay or one consolidated monthly statement, payable by ACH or card. Clinicians paying their own stipend are welcome too.
How close to the hospital can you place me?
Usually within ten or fifteen minutes; several of our communities are walking distance from Atrium CMC, Duke and UNC. Tell us the campus and the shift and we match the commute to it.
Can I bring a pet, or share with another clinician?
Most of our communities welcome pets; each has its own policy on breed and weight. Two-bedroom homes for clinicians sharing a contract are common; tell us up front and we set the lease up that way.
What do I need to bring?
A suitcase. The bed is made, the kitchen is stocked with cookware and dishes, towels and linens are in the closet, the washer and dryer are in the unit, and the electricity, water, high-speed Wi‑Fi and TV are already on.
Do you house residents and fellows for a full academic year?
Yes. Twelve-month placements for residents, fellows and visiting faculty are a regular part of our Triangle and Charlotte guests; stays of 90 nights or longer are exempt from North Carolina occupancy tax.
