Thank You for Your Interest in Referring a Family to Ronald McDonald House® Orange County (RMHOC)
Since our opening in 1989, RMHOC has worked closely with medical partners to support families whose children are receiving medical treatment in the area.
To be eligible for a stay, families must meet the following criteria:
- Patient must be receiving pediatric care
- Patient must be actively undergoing inpatient or outpatient medical treatment
- Important: Referrals must come from a social worker, nurse, or doctor. Families are not allowed to self-refer
Please note: A room referral does not guarantee a stay, but we make every effort to accommodate all families. Same-day requests are welcome.
Once a room referral is received, our RMHOC team will directly contact the family to confirm. During our call with the family, we will discuss:
- A suggested contribution of $10 per night (no eligible family is ever turned away due to inability to pay)
- The requirement of a valid, non-expired photo ID for all adults staying at the House
If you have any questions, please contact our office at 714-639-3600.
