More about us

If you have a child who will be receiving treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan or any of the medical facilities in the Detroit area, Ronald McDonald House of Detroit can be YOUR “home-away-from-home.”

Please work with your hospital-assigned social worker to complete all the necessary paperwork for staying at The House. A referral form is required for all room requests.
The form can be found here: Family Referral Form

We have 26 guestrooms with private bathrooms. We also have a large kitchen, three living rooms, a dining room, media center, children’s playroom, a teen room, laundry facilities, and a garden courtyard. Guests are welcome to bring their own food – each family is assigned a food locker and a refrigerator.

You only need to bring along personal hygiene items and food (and ‘favorite’ bedding items, if desired). However, should you come in on an emergency basis and do not have the time to gather your personal items, the House can provide bedding, food, personal hygiene products, and other personal needs. We understand you may have other things occupying your mind!
