Thank you for your interest in referring a family to the Long Beach Ronald McDonald House. Since our opening in 2011, the Long Beach Ronald McDonald House has worked closely with medical partners to provide housing, comfort, care and support to families receiving medical treatment in the Long Beach area.

In order to refer a family, they must meet the following criteria:

  • The patient must be 18 years of age or younger
  • The patient must currently be receiving active inpatient or outpatient medical treatment

Please Note: A room request does not guarantee a reservation, but we do our very best to accommodate everyone. Same day requests are welcome. The first referral must come from a social worker, care coordinator, nurse or doctor.

We will also discuss the following with the family:

  • We ask for $35, which includes a donation of $25 and a $10 key deposit. Some families pay a portion of the nightly fee. No eligible family is ever turned away if they are unable to pay.
