Providing Housing for the Families of Those Being Treated at the Children’s Hospital
The Carolyn Scott Rainbow House serves as a housing center for families of patients receiving care at Children’s Hospital. This three-story convalescent services facility includes 56 hospitality suites and expanded living and dining areas for resident families. A stay at the Carolyn Scott Rainbow House eases the financial strain experienced by families who have sick children receiving care at Children’s Hospital. The new plan includes a play structure and exterior patio dining area at the back of the facility to allow resident families to spend time outside. The lobby includes a two-story space with a grand staircase and two elevators.
