Room Temperature
Some rooms are centrally heated and air-conditioned. If you do not have a thermostat in your room and the temperature of your room is not comfortable, please notify a member of the nursing staff.
Your Hospital Bed
Your hospital bed is adjustable for your comfort. A nurse will explain how to operate the bed. Beds include rails, which are there for your protection. They may be raised at night and during the day if you are resting, recovering from surgery or taking certain medications.
Bed Linens
Bed linens will be changed when your caregiver determines it is necessary or when specifically requested by you or your family.
Cellular Phones
While you can use cell phones in most areas of the hospital, please be aware that in some areas, they are not permitted.
Discharge Planning
Your physician, nurse and other hospital staff will be working together to develop a discharge plan especially for you. When you are discharged, we ask that you leave the hospital by 11 a.m., providing that you have the services, care and transportation ready at that time.
