At the Ronald McDonald House, we understand how a family is impacted when a child becomes seriously ill – especially when treatment is far from home.

Our goal is to provide a true “home away from home” for families of seriously ill children receiving care at medical facilities near our New Brunswick Ronald McDonald House. We also offer Family Rooms and a Hospitality Suite in the pediatric units of four hospitals in Monmouth and Middlesex County.

We offer a welcoming, supportive environment for families during a time of uncertainty and stress. Family members can stay together in a comfortable home with private rooms and many amenities.  Families who don't require an overnight stay can utilize one of our inviting and home-like family rooms, just steps away from their child's hospital room and caregivers. Our House and Family Rooms help families remain strong throughout the course of their child’s treatment.

Eligibility	Rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis to families of seriously ill children who live a minimum of 10 miles outside the House locations and who are referred by a health care provider. Families of hospitalized children are welcome to use one of our in-hospital Family Rooms.
