We stop the world.
Jordan's House gives parents of children with special needs a complimentary luxury weekend of rest at Ruby Ranch in Moorpark, California.
“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.
Rest
Garden walks, quiet mornings on the ranch, and nothing on the schedule unless you want it.
Food and wine
Chef-crafted meals, wine tastings, and hands-on cooking classes with our chef.
Spa
Space to calm the nervous system and ease physical tension.
Tailored to you
Never one-size-fits-all. Every stay reflects each guest's preferences.
