Day Use at the House

A place that feels like home

Keeping Families Close

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho offers a Day Use Program designed to provide families with hospitalized children a free, comfortable “home-away-from-home” during the day. This program is ideal for families who do not require overnight accommodations or who live within Ada County.

Day Use operating hours are daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., giving families access to welcoming shared spaces for dining, relaxation, and activities.

To participate, families must present a Day Use pass signed by their medical provider upon arrival.
