  • Length of stay for guests is 24 – 48 hours initially and any extensions thereafter will be assessed and determined by the Admissions Volunteer on a case by case basis.
  • Chemotherapy and KDU outpatient guests can stay up to 6 weeks according to their treatment plan.
  • Tracy’s Sanctuary House reserves the right to restrict or refuse use of the house based on its greater needs of its guests population.

  • First priority will be given to the immediate family members of trauma patients receiving medical care in Bismarck- Mandan hospitals.
  • Patients receiving chemotherapy or KDU treatment are also eligible subject to room availability.
  • Guests/patients must be from outside the Bismarck-Mandan area.
  • Each case will be assessed on an individual basis.
