What We Do

Ronald McDonald House^® Southern Alberta offers a home-like atmosphere for parents and children who travel long distances to seek medical treatment in a local Calgary hospital.

Ronald McDonald House^® Southern Alberta accommodates families from areas outside a 45 km radius from Alberta Children’s Hospital including southern, and in some cases, northern Alberta, as well as British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northwest Territories. More than 25% of the families come from outside of Alberta. See General Admission Requirements for details. 

Ronald McDonald House^® Southern Alberta has 23 bedrooms, each with a private bath. There are comfortable common living rooms, a well equipped kitchen, several laundry rooms, and many play areas for the children and a back patio. To take a tour of the House, please click here...

Ronald McDonald House^® Southern Alberta provides support to families in many ways. The House is not only an affordable accommodation for families with sick children but also a safe, secure and comfortable environment for families to:

• Prepare and share a meal
• Rest from the daily routine of caring for a sick child in the hospital
• Draw strength and support from other families in similar circumstances
• Utilize common facilities to read a book, watch TV, play games or connect to the internet

Ronald McDonald House^® Southern Alberta does not provide medical treatment, nor is it a hospice or a hotel.
