Our house accommodates 12 families each night in private bedrooms with baths. The House also includes a fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, play room and lounge area.
To qualify for a room, the family must have a child who is 21 years or younger and receiving care in Westchester County. There is often a wait list for a room. Rooms are given based on the critical nature of the patient and distance from the family’s home to the hospital.
We never turn a family away due to inability to pay.
Our Day Program may be utilized by families who have children aged 21 years or younger being treated in Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital or Blythedale Children’s Hospital and who are not currently guests of the House.
