For out patients who are receiving treatment, we require a minimum of two appointments per week. Patients with high-risk pregnancies also qualify to stay wtih us. -
Families must live at least 20 miles away from the house and utilize the bedroom suite once every 24 hours. -
Room requests must be received by referral from either a social worker, nurse, or physician at the patient’s hospital or doctor’s office. -
All room requests are honored, but due to high demand you may be placed on a waiting list. -
