How does a family get a room at the Ronald McDonald House?
A. Once a child is admitted into the hospital or has a procedure scheduled, the family is assigned a social worker to assist with any needs they might have. This social worker assesses each family’s personal situation, and if necessary, makes the referral to the Ronald McDonald House. There are only two requirements for staying at the house: the child receiving medical care must be 18 years old or under, and the family must have their permanent residence more than 40 miles from the hospital.
