Ronald McDonald House Campus

What if we need overnight accommodations?

Our Ronald McDonald House® in Milwaukee provides temporary overnight accommodations for families with children (ages 21 or younger) receiving medical treatment at a partnering hospital. Explore the House with our 360 virtual tour.

Important things to know for Rogers Behavioral Health families:

  • Families must live outside of Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington & Waukesha counties. Racine county families will only qualify to stay overnight at the Ronald McDonald House if their child is receiving inpatient or residential care.
  • Families must be referred by a Rogers Behavioral Health Intake Specialist, Social Worker, Program Manager or Care Coordinator. Returning families can call 414.935.6510 and refer themselves up to two years from their last stay.
  • Families may occupy a room with or without the patient present. Guests (including siblings) must be actively involved in the patient’s treatment/recovery.
  • While we do our best to accommodate every family that needs us, the Ronald McDonald House operates on a waiting list and we cannot guarantee families a room. We do not require a minimum or maximum number of nights stayed.
  • We suggest a donation of $20 per night; however no family is ever turned away if they are unable to pay.
  • Our Family Room is about 30 minutes from our House. We do not have shuttle service to and from Rogers.
