The hospital sometimes has to make adjustments in patient accommodations because of temporary bed shortages, emergency admissions or a doctor's orders. If circumstances prevent your receiving the accommodations you requested upon admission, we will make every effort to move you as soon as possible.

Please remember: most insurance plans do not reimburse for private room charges. If you request a private room, you will be responsible for the additional charge, which will be reflected in your bill.

If a patient who is originally placed in a private room because it is the only room available elects to remain in a private room once a semi-private room becomes available, he/she will only be charged from the day the choice of rooms is made.

Your Bed

Your bed adjusts to different positions and is equipped with side rails for your protection. Please do not try to get out of bed by yourself when the rails are raised. We will be glad to assist you.

Nurse-Call Button

Every bed and bathroom is connected to the nursing station by a nurse on-call system. Some nurse-call units are hand held, while others are wall-mounted units. Your nurse will show you how to use them. Your calls will be answered by a unit secretary or member of the nursing staff as soon as possible. If you need assistance while in the bathroom, pull the emergency cord.
