Stay With Us

We’re here to welcome you with comfort and support.

We surround our families with love and support from our caring staff, our giving volunteers and from other guest families. We provide home-cooked meals, weekly activities, indoor and outdoor play areas, laundry facilities, computers, WiFi, and much more, so that you can concentrate on what is most important.

To be eligible to live at our House, families should:

  • Have a child (aged 21 or younger) who is receiving medical treatment (inpatient or outpatient) at Cincinnati Children’s or other area hospitals. *If the patient has a documented developmental disability and they are fully dependent on another adult for care, please reach out to our team to ask about exceptions.
  • If the child is outpatient, they should have appointments at least twice weekly at Cincinnati Children’s or, with pre-approval, another area hospital. Exceptions to this may be approved on a case-by-case basis.
  • Families must live more than 40 miles away from Cincinnati Children’s.
    • Families who live within a 40-mile radius of RMHC may stay at the House if they have a child in the Cardiac Care Unit, Intensive Care Unit (“ICU”) or Regional Center for Newborn Intensive Care (“RCNIC”).

For additional information about who may stay with the guest patient at the House, please check out our FAQ.
