FAQs

Stays can be as short as one night or as long as several months, and sometimes extend to a year or more, depending on the child’s illness and treatment.

Yes! Our House meets all ADA compliance standards, including an elevator and wider corridors.

We do not accept advance reservations. Because each child’s treatment is unique, a family’s stay at the Ronald McDonald House is unpredictable. Therefore, we are unable to confirm room availability in advance. Once you have been referred to the Ronald McDonald House, you should call us after 8:00 am the day you need a room. If a room is available, we will confirm at that time. If we are full and no rooms are available, you will be added to the day’s waiting list in the order in which we receive your call. If a guest family checks out, then we make our way down the waiting list.
