Welcome to The Palmetto Palace

The Palmetto Palace addresses the pressing, unmet need for affordable lodging for families by partnering with local Charleston area hotels, transportation services, vendor services to support families who are in need.

Families will use The Palmetto Palace when an unexpected critical care hospitalization or surgical need occurs and a family member cannot afford a room, food or transportation. The Palmetto Palace provides vouchers for temporary shelter, food and transportation for those families who fall outside the guidelines of the three houses that currently supply such services. As you may be aware, The Hope Lodge and The Parker Miracle House require that the patient is diagnosed with cancer and The Ronald McDonald House require that the patient is receiving pediatric services. We are providing an organized service for those families that do not qualify for current housing and meet indigent guidelines.

We have a medical discounted rate for hotel rooms including weekends and holidays. Food vouchers are provided using hospital cafeterias and transportation vouchers are also available. The most efficient way to supply service to the families is for the caseworkers or other designated hospital personnel to handle the transactions on line to make the referral.

Note:

The Palmetto Palace serves adults (20 years and older) who are family members and caregivers of patients receiving services at local hospitals who are referred by designated hospital staff. If financial assistance is needed, there is a separate Financial Hardship Application, which must be signed by the hospital designee and discussed in private with the Executive Director. Based on the information given to the caseworker a sliding fee may be applied.
