Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth Review

Such an honor to be allowed to stay at that RMcD House in Ft Woth. The staff is caring, yet professional... The volunteers are precious, & the facility has everything residents, consumed with worry for our children need.. I began staying here in 2010 when my granddaughter, Leann had her first battle with cancer. We are back now, as she has cancer again, & are so comforted to be received at RMDH like family. Leann lost her mom, who was my daughter after a difficult battle with ALS. She died in November. Having this understanding loving place to stay, sleep & pray for Leann, with broken hearts, is a true gift from God. Thank you, RMDH founders, staff & volunteers, thank you.

We ve only been here a few days, but I am so thankful for them. It has just been absolutely amazing, the staff is great, the volunteers are great, and it s located within walking distance to cook children s. It s nice having somewhere to go while my daughter is in the CICU. We were staying in the hospital with her but after a month in the hospital it had become just cramped so I am so thankful to the Ronald McDonald house.

Love Ronald McDonald house, they are such wonderful people who donate time and invest love into what they do and the families they help. They made us feel welcomed and comfortable.

A wonderful place for families of ill children who are far away from home. The place and staff are amazing. We are very thankful for everything they've given us.

Stayed here for 4 months while our daughter was in the NICU for 4 months helped us stay closer to her love the place and people there

This what the donation boxes at McDonald's are collecting for.

Place of hope, love and comfort at the time when it's needed the most. Having my own child with half a heart I know how much this place is needed and appreciated by families like mine. Our hospital didn't have one of these nearby so I had to drive 40 miles every day to as my child. This night of the organization we belong to cooked and served dinner... HopeKids.. they provide free events for families like mine to enjoy. #LetsGuide

Love the house and helping families with food and activites so they can focus on their children.

I'm not very happy with the ft. Worth location my daughter was down there getting treatment for her 8 month old daughter who is a victim of HIE. They were told that they needed to stay for 4-5 days, they got a referral from the hospital upon calling RMc H they were in formed that this location only takes reservations Monday- Wednesday so they couldn't get a room. The first night they stayed in their vehicle, once were found that out were played four their next three nights in a slumy yet pricey motel. So thanks alot RMcH......... for nothing at all!

One of those places that you don't realize how important it is until you need it. Thank you so much for making a stressful time so much better. My kids loved it and we felt so at home.

What an amazing place. This is one of the greatest places with the most compassionate staff that take care of you at some of the most difficult times in your life.

Very clean, ppl are friendly & really care about everyone.

after what this place did to danita tutt it should be avoided at all costs !

Very friendly staff and very clean and great place to stay, food was amazing as well. Stayed there for 7 weeks. I can't say enough nice things about this place and how comfortable and convenient the stay was in my situation.

Staying here due to sisters baby being in cooks children NICU everyone is super nice and helpful the rooms are great for an emergency and cant afford hotels for long periods of time and it is just like staying in a hotel meals are provided but never used them just slept and showered there the only complaint was the shower curtain was very moldy when we checked in but they have all kinds of cleaners under bathroom sink so I cleaned it simply with bleach they have laundry rooms and family rooms it is a very nice place when you are away from home due to An emergency and in a bind

Great atmosphere and an exceptional staff. A truly amazing group of people here!

This place is an absolute live saver. They provide peace in the most chaotic and challenging times in a person's life.

I admire the cause.
Took my oldest daughter (7yrs old) with me have her donate supplies. Great teaching moment(s)

All I can say is .. thank you for the outpouring love and support. The support you receive from the employees, the volunteers and even the other families - no words can do it justice. The facility is clean .. and very well organized. The RMHFT is definitely a blessing .

This was a complete thrill! amazing this is always a fun to be had trip for the kids (keep them away from the red room) other than that very fun only lost one on the entire tuor!

Such an amazing organization. The amount of joy that is spread from the staff to the volunteers is amazing.

Very frustrated with this Ronald McDonald House. My son is a TBI Survivor and is currently at Texas Rehabilitation Hospital. When I first called I was told very rudely we can t accept you here. I asked why not that their website says pt 21 and under, and he s 20. She then proceeded to tell me that because we aren t in a peds hospital. I got our case manager at Kindred Southwest involved and he spoke with the COO. She did accept us and he told her that it would not be an every night needed situation. He was told for me just to call in at 8:30 AM on the nights needed. Wednesday morning I called at 8:30 then was called back being told they don t have our referral and that they r full anyways. I know this is incorrect because I had the confirmation in my hand. I got with our caseworker over at Kindred and he called them. This time he was told that it was thrown away because I hadn t called in and that we would have to do it all again. He was also told that I needed to call in every day by 8:30 regardless if we needed it or not. That still wasn t a guarantee that I d get a room on the night I needed. I understand this place helps a lot of families in need but they dropped the ball here. My son may not be at Cook s but he is still under the age criteria and we are still a family that is going through a very difficult time. Ronald McDonald really drooped the ball here and I will not be recommending y all to anyone.

Be careful and check your room and bed for bugs. This place has bed bugs and the staff is blaming us saying that we brought it even though we came straight from the hospital. To make matters worse, rather than fixing the problem they are kicking us out. Now my 8month pregnant cousin and her son have to find a new place to stay his 1st round our chemo treatment is complete in 3wks.

If u know anything about the services and hospitality provided to family's at the Roald McDonald house then no explenation is necessary. If not..look on line and help out if u can. The employees are Angles on earth.

This place is awesome! Everything you could need with cooking facilities, a play room with toys, a gym, multiple laundry rooms and even a mascot labradoodle that is the best with kids. I'm putting money in the little change box every time I visit McDonald's from now on.

How awesome, precious and sweet this place is. Was visiting family and the amenities for the children / siblings of children at hospital really helped everyone relax.

No doubt there are the best people who put their grain of sand to help other people

Awesome atmosphere, staff willing to help, in anyway possible, and playground is contained "within" the middle of the entire complex and shaded!!!!

We have a baby in the NICU. The staff at RMH have been so kind and caring. Great place.

They have been here for us to be able to stay close to cooks children's hospital. While our daughter Karyme has her treatments. God bless this house always.

We came into town from Alabama and stayed about 20 days. The staff was great to my family during a rough time. Highly recommend to anyone in need! :)

They are always full and they never seem to have an opening. They tell you to come back the next day at 830 so I show up at opening time.and they say there all booked. How is this possible your better off contacting project amistad

Really helped my family in the time of need we would not have been able to afford to stay with our daughter without the help of the ronald mcdonald house god bless the people that make it possible for families like mine

Fortunate to be able to cook breakfast for the folks staying here . Was a blessing to serve them . And was touched by this little guy personally thanking each volunteer one at a time .

It's truly amazing what they do for families here. The proximity to Cook Children's is great for walking. I'd like to thank the staff for their warmth and hospitality during a stressful time for our family.

Never been so overwhelmed with care. Such a blessing

They are a wonderful organization that helps families in need. We wouldn't have a place to stay when our daughter is in the hospital If it weren't for them.

Thank you!! We stayed often. Unfortunately my son ended up dying. This is the best place I never want to visit again. Angel's of mercy serve you. I love yall!

Hands down, no arguments, the Ronald McDonald House is a wonderful organization. This review is based on my stay at the RMH in Fort Worth so far:

I'm not a huge fan of the fact that there is no food or drinks (except water) allowed in our rooms although, I can understand why this is a rule. I also do not like that there is only one working dryer on my side of the first floor. Also, for those who are smokers - there is no covered smoking area, the smoking area is designated where the dumpsters are located and only provide one chair for seating which is broken. Lastly, I don't like that the side access door doesn't allow entrance after 10 p.m., another drawback for smokers who are up late or are on night shift schedules because we have to walk all the way around the building (sometimes in the rain) just to get back inside.

With all of that being said, I do appreciate all that the RMHFW provides. There is a shuttle service in place for those without vehicles, even a vehicle you can borrow to go run errands. We get free meals when outside companies donate food and/or have time to come cook for us. I appreciate the community refrigerator and pantry because who has time to grocery shop when we're worrying about our little one's. I appreciate that we can do our laundry here and that we have private rooms (bathrooms included). It's overall an amazing organization and I'm so thankful that i've been able to stay here until I can bring my baby home with me.

Is been 9 years ago since my wife and I stayed there....my little Sofia was in the NICU for 4 long month and we couldn't afford to stay in Fort Worth that long.... thanks to the Ronald McDonald program being from out of town 12 hr drive....my wife had a place to stay while our little girl was struggling to live...it was hard but it was worth it and more.... Thanks Ronald McDonald Housing you my our lives easier when we were alone...Big Thanks

I cannot say enough GREAT things about this place . Amazing group of people. Was a huge help and relief for us to be able to stay here .

Excellent place we were treated to the best thanks x exist

I've rarely stayed at a location that made me feel like I was family as well as they did. I hope I never have to return since it was due to an extended hospital stay...but if we had to return to Cook Children's hospital, we'd not hesitate to return to Ronald McDonald House.

Having to stay at a place like this Bc your have a very sick child, is very sad !
But these people here really try to make you feel happy .
I have stayed at another RMDH in dallas, and this one really beats the last .
Our room is very nice and clean . The staff are amazing and my daughter loves the House dogs we see daily .
The groups who come to make dinner and lunch are all angels .
Today I had over 20 volunteers pray for my very ill baby girl . .The Play Ground FOR THE Little ones, THE Pool ROOM FOR The older children, THE Security Of THE home.
2 thumbs up .
Thsnk you RMDH for making us feel like fsmily

Kiwanis volunteers there. I'm a member of Kiwanis and enjoy spending time with the people there.

For the most part, we ve always had a good stay here. It s helpful to be so close to the hospital. We were grateful for the many times we were given a room. $20 a night is cheap compared to most local hotels close by. Plus they have access to a kitchen and events for the children during the holidays. It s the closest thing to home!
