“In a world of perpetual motion, propelled by the affection of those they hold closest, the Ferris wheel of life for a parent or caregiver never stops.”

— Jimmy Peña, Founder of Jordan’s House

Our mission

Restoring parents. That's the mission.

Jordan's House provides life-giving respite to parents of children impacted by special needs. More than a weekend away, it is space for each parent to breathe.

We're disability advocates, cleverly disguised as chefs, housekeepers, therapists, butlers and hosts.

The weekend

Every detail, taken care of.

Inviting suites, chef-crafted cuisine, fine wines, and spa-quality comforts, all at Ruby Ranch.
