Your Room

Your room includes a special hospital bed, a bedside stand for your personal belongings, a telephone, an over-bed table and a small closet space.

Your Bed
Your bed can be adjusted. Sometimes you need to keep your bed in a certain position for medical reasons. Most of the time, however, we can help you adjust your bed for your own comfort. Ask a staff member to show you how to use the controls.

Nurses Call Button
The call button is located on the remote control at your bedside.  When you press the button, the nurses’ desk is notified that you are calling.  Someone will answer your call as soon as possible.  There is also a call button in the bathroom.  It is best to ask assistance before you get out of bed. 

Telephone and Television services
Telephone and Television services are available in every room.  To activate, just notify your nurse.  The rates for telephone and television service include a one-time transaction fee of $4.00 plus $7.00 per day.  There is a maximum charge of $84.00 per stay.  The charges will be billed to your home telephone bill.  After your discharge, these charges will appear directly on your home telephone bill as “HOSP TEL CHG” from ESBI.  If you have any questions or would like to make other payment arrangements (VISA, MasterCard, Discover), please call 1-800-288-7351. 

See the Entertainment section for further information on use of television controls and channel guide.
