You said My sister would have to have a referral from her doctor well would the referral you to say or state and where would she need to a patient at

It's not a referral it's called a " Room Request". Must be faxed in by the Dr., Nurse, or Social Worker of the person staying at the hospital. Also the family has to live at least 40 miles or more from the hospital. You can learn more by going to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Augusta website.

If she has to go to the hospital then her doctor would send a referral stating she needs room and board.
