Guests of the Ronald McDonald House must reside outside the City of Toledo and be eighteen years old or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Guests must be:

- Related to a child who is receiving medical treatment at a local medical facility
- Or related to a young adult who is receiving medical care for a condition that resulted from an injury or illness that began during childhood
- Or an expectant mother experiencing a high-risk pregnancy

Guests may stay as long as their child is receiving treatment at a local medical facility. Thanks to our generous donors, guests at the Ronald McDonald House stay free-of-charge. In addition, there is no charge for food, laundry, parking, or transportation to medical facilities.

We are not a hotel - rather, we offer a communal living environment in which all guests share responsibility for keeping our home safe, clean, and operating smoothly. The House welcomes families regardless of race, religion, nationality, gender, or abilities.
