HOW TO STAY HERE

The safety and comfort of families is top priority at Ronald McDonald House.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the criteria for staying at the House will continue to change in order to best serve our families. At the Ronald McDonald House and the Ronald McDonald Family Room at UAMS we do not require COVID-19 vaccines. It is not our mission to dictate/mandate vaccines for the fragile families we serve. Our mission is to provide a free home-away-from-home for families of critically-ill children sent to Little Rock for life saving medical care, support them when they are far from home, and meet their daily needs. Due to the communal environment of the House and the Family Room, we require a negative PCR test 72 hours prior to arrival and isolation leading up to check-in at one of our facilities. Please contact your child's social worker at the hospital to learn more about the current requirements for staying at Ronald McDonald House. Thank you!

​All reservations must be made by a hospital representative. If you are interested in staying at the Ronald McDonald House of Arkansas, please speak with a representative at the hospital your child will be visiting.

You are eligible to stay at the Ronald McDonald House in Little Rock if:
  • You live outside a 50-mile radius, or 45 minutes of Little Rock.
  • Your child is 21 years of age or younger.

Length of Stay
  • Outpatients: Families may stay at the Ronald McDonald House for a period of one to five nights.
  • ICU/Burn Patients: Families who have a child in any of the ICU facilities (NICU, PICU, CVICU) or in the burn center may stay at the Ronald McDonald House for up to 45-days.  This allows for other families to have the opportunity to stay. NOTE: If there is not a family on the waiting list, current families may continue staying for up to another 45 days.
  • Cancer or Transplant Patients: Patients and their families may stay at the Ronald McDonald House for the duration of their treatments.

Guests Provide
It costs the House $84 per room/per night to operate. Guests are asked to help offset these costs by making a $10 donation for each night's stay. We accept cash, check, Visa and MasterCard. However, no family is ever turned away because of inability to pay. 

Check-In Procedures
Once you have a reservation, you are free to check-in anytime, except between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. (during shift change), unless prior approval has been given. 

Directions
Just steps away from Arkansas Children's Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House is conveniently located near downtown Little Rock and the State Capitol.
