Ronald McDonald House is more than a place to stay. Without our services, many families would not be able to afford housing in the area. We have the capacity to accommodate 14 families each night.
Our House is not a hotel, motel or hospice, but truly a home-away-from-home. Here, families find a haven away from the tensions of the hospital and gain support from others who are going through similar experiences.
The House is a 14-bedroom home. Families have their own private rooms, sharing bathrooms, communal living areas, kitchens, a pantry, dining areas, laundry, playrooms, and library. There are places for people to gather and share concerns and experiences and places to be alone, to read a book or watch television. In our efficiency apartments, each unit is self-sufficient with a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living area, washer and dryer. Add telephone and television.
There is 24-hour staff coverage to provide assistance to the families and manage the daily operations. Day-to-day housekeeping is led by staff and supported by guests and volunteers.
We suggest a donation of $10 per night when they stay with us, but many are unable to afford this fee. Thanks to support from the community, no one is ever turned away due to an inability to pay.
