A separate background check is required for each adult who wants to stay at the RMHC.
Staying at RMHC
Before a family can check in at the RMHC, a referral must be given by the patient’s doctor, nurse, or social worker. They may call us directly at (850) 222-1706. Occupancy is on a first-come, first-served basis. No advance reservations are accepted, although a room will be held until 6:00 p.m. on the day it is requested. If there are no rooms available, the family’s name will be placed on the waiting list.
Guests are requested to register between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. If special arrangements need to be made, please speak to the house operations manager.
Families are asked to do a small daily chore to help maintain our facility. This is designed to take up only a short amount of time and is not expected to take priority over your child’s needs. Some examples of the types of chores that our guests do are sweeping, taking out the trash, wiping down the counters, and other household chores.
Safety and Security Considerations
RMHC provides a home-away-from-home for families of children in medical care each night. The safety and well-being of our guests are a top priority. We require all adults (18 years old or older) to pass a criminal background check before they are allowed to stay at our facility.
Convictions for crimes, including, but not limited to, violent crimes, domestic violence, child abuse, sex offenses, illegal drug activity, burglary, and/or identity theft, will result in your request to stay at RMHC being rejected.
