Short-stay accommodation has been a "godsend" for people like Charlie and Evonne, who live in Galiwin'ku but need dialysis treatment in Darwin.
The remote Territorians are among hundreds displaced by the sudden closure of YiSSA in Darwin, with the move sparking concerns about patient safety.
Local support worker Chloe Hill says some are being pushed into homelessness or overcrowded housing, which can cause further health impacts.
Like many remote Territorians, Charlie Yebarrarr Dhamarrandji and Evonne Mitja Wunungmurra have been forced to relocate to Darwin to receive life-saving medical treatment.
The Northern Territory government recently rejected a $3.5 million shared-purchase offer from the federal government to keep Darwin's largest short-stay accommodation facility, YiSSA, open.
The facility will shutdown on October 11 this year.
Mr Dhamarrandji and Ms Wunungmurra described YiSSA as a "godsend" while they navigate treatment and travelling back to Galiwin'ku, in Arnhem Land, for traditional ceremonies.
Ms Wunungmurra said in addition to providing shelter, YiSSA also helped with transport to medical appointments and supported them in other ways.
NT Children and Families Minister Robyn Cahill last week announced a plan to shift the facility's remaining residents to Batchelor, a small town around 100 kilometres from Darwin.
Local support worker Chloe Hill said the centre's impending closure had been keeping her up at night.
Ms Hill works with Panuku in Darwin, part of the Indigenous-led Purple House, a health service which supports dialysis patients.
Ms Wunungmurra and Mr Dhamarrandji said they have found a place to stay in Palmerston, but worried other YiSSA residents with medical issues had not been so fortunate.
