HOW TO STAY
If you are interested in staying at our House, please contact the RMH Family Services Manager at 850.477.2273.
Why would you want to stay?
Our safe, secure, home-like environment is only moments from the hospital or clinic treating your child. Staying with us eliminates long drives home & costly hotel stays. Your private bedroom will give you room to relax and escape the stresses of the day. You will be comforted by other families who understand the difficulties relating to childhood illness, surgery, premature birth and trauma.
How much does it cost to stay?
Services provided by the House are absolutely free of charge. We request a $7.50 donation per night you stay, but you are not required to contribute.
