Custom Alarm Keeps Families Safe in Their Home Away From Home
Charitable, compassionate, generous, helpful — these are just a few words that come to mind when thinking of The Ronald McDonald House in Rochester, Minn. An organization that provides a home away from home with housing, meals and compassion for families seeking medical care for their children, this facility was in need of a large expansion in 2018 due to the high demand.
The Ronald McDonald House is far more than just a place to sleep. Many of the families who come here are undergoing some of the most stressful times of their life as they seek medical care for their children. The need has continued to grow, and the Ronald McDonald House wanted to do whatever they could to accommodate more children and families needing a place to stay, providing a safe haven for them during their treatments at the nearby Mayo Clinic. In 2018, the board approved the expansion and a capital campaign began which would include expanding from 42 rooms to 70, adding a small indoor gym, as well as outdoor and indoor play areas.
