Insurance Cards

Bring Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and all other insurance cards that are pertinent for billing.

 

Clothing

Residents are encouraged to dress in casual and comfortable clothing. Several sets of comfortable daytime clothes that include sweat pants, t-shirts, shorts or any items that do not snap or button are recommended.

Toiletries

Bring an electric shaver, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, make-up and any other personal items to make your stay more comfortable.

Shoes

Bring comfortable shoes for daily wear. Shoes that lace up or sneakers are best. Shoes that slip on or those with a higher than one-inch heel are not recommended since they could increase your risk of falling. Ask your therapist about specific questions related to footwear.

Equipment

Discuss with your therapist any equipment such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs or respiratory equipment that may have been used at home.

Sleepwear

If you prefer not to wear gowns provided, bring several sets of sleepwear. Non-slip slippers are also recommended.

Television

Some rooms are equipped with televisions, though you may choose to bring your personal television.

Electronic Appliances

For safety reasons, please notify a staff member when you bring any electronic devices to our center for your personal use. Our maintenance staff will be happy to inspect all radios, compact disc players, lamps, etc., that you may wish to have in your room.

Telephones

Some of our rooms are equipped with telephones. You may also choose to have a personal telephone installed in your room. The cost of installation and monthly service is your responsibility. The admissions or maintenance director is available to assist in scheduling telephone hook-ups.

Personal Items

We are happy to work with you to personalize your room. Comforting items such as photos, pillows and blankets are encouraged. We encourage that jewelry, credit cards or any expensive, irreplaceable items be left with the family, at home or locked up in the center's safe.
