How to Store Belongings

Personal belongings can be stored in the bedside table or cabinet. Dentures or eyeglasses should be stored in cases. Small items should not be wrapped in paper towels or tissues because they may be mistaken for trash. The hospital will not be responsible for the safety of your personal belongings or money.

Food

At the hospital, three meals are served daily. Each day, you will receive a menu of food choices for the next day. Your nurse or dietician can tell you the general meal timings and guide you to make choices. If you miss a meal because of tests or treatments, your nurse can arrange for you to receive it upon your return. A registered dietician plans your meals. If you want to discuss your diet or if you have special food requirements, ask your nurse to contact the dietician.

Safety Policies

The following safety policies are to be followed:

Fire

While at the hospital, in case you hear a fire alarm, stay where you are. The hospital sometimes conducts fire drills to keep staff members update in fire safety and to test its alarm system. In case of a fire, staff members will direct you to safety.

Telephone

In-house telephone is available throughout the hospital for free calls within the hospital.

Bed

The nursing staff will show you how to raise and lower the bed. Please do not try to get out of bed unless your doctor or nurse says it is okay. Your bed should always be in the "low" position when you get in or out of it. A nursing staff can help you with its adjustment. Your doctor or nurse may decide whether there is a specific medical reason for your bed rails to be raised. If so, please do not lower them yourself or allow a visitor to do so for you. Use the call signal to get a nursing staff if you need assistance.

Nurses

Your nursing team includes Nursing Supervisors, Head Nurses, Staff Nurses, Nursing Assistants and others. The nursing team will plan your nursing care.
