These stays can be a couple of nights or can last for weeks or months at a time. Each ronald mcdonald house has family suites for families to rest. The houses have open kitchens where a family can sit down and share a homemade meal together alongside other families going through similar experiences. The sense of community enables families to rely on one another when they need it most. A ronald mcdonald house saves families hundreds to thousands of dollars on accommodation transportation meals laundry and much more each year. Having a ronald mcdonald house close to the hospital is an important element of family-centered care.
