Contact the House to check if a room might be available. Family Service staff will walk you through the process of asking for a medical referral, which is required for all stays.
Take a deep breath
After your referral is submitted you’re officially on the waitlist. Sit back and take a deep breath. A member of our team will connect with you.
Please call our team the day of your arrival to confirm your stay and determine a check-in time.
Welcome home!
Once checked in, our team will provide you with an orientation tour and answer any questions about your stay.
Welcome. We hope you feel safe and comfortable here.
Basic eligibility requirements are that the patient of the family must be a child that is 18 years of age or younger. The patient is either in, or coming to Saskatoon for medical treatment whether it be as an inpatient or outpatient. The family must live 40km or more outside of Saskatoon.
The suggested room contribution for families is $10.00 per night. This will help us to cover the cost of operating the House and keeping it in good repair. However, no one will be turned away if they cannot make the suggested room contribution.
Immediate family members of the patient are welcome to stay at the House. For our purposes, immediate family includes mother, father, caregivers or legal guardians, siblings and grandparents. Anyone staying at the House must be directly involved in the patient’s care or caring for siblings that may be staying at the House.
There is no limit to how long a family can stay at the House as long as you have a sick child who is needing medical attention.
Visitors are allowed during the day until 9 p.m. We have a log book that all visitors must sign-in. Visitors must follow the same policies as families during their visit.
