Arranging Your Stay at RMHC Ann Arbor
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Ann Arbor has two Houses that provide a supportive home away from home for families of children 21 years of age and younger receiving treatment at a local area health facility.
Each House offers bedrooms with a private bathroom, and close proximity to the Hospital so that family members can relax and take care of themselves knowing their child is just minutes away. Comfortable living room areas offer the opportunity for sharing with other families going through similar experiences.
Located just a short walk from C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, the Main House has 31 bedrooms available to families who live a distance from Ann Arbor, for as long as their child is receiving treatment.

We will do our best to accommodate you, however, we are not able to guarantee a room for everyone on the wait list.
