Accommodations

Your Room

Your physician has arranged for your admission. Your room assignment at DeTar is based upon your admitting diagnosis and the bed availability on the day of your admission.

Your Hospital Bed

Hospital beds are electrically operated and your nurse will show you how to work your bed properly. Bedside rails are for your protection. They may be raised at night or during the day if you're resting, recovering from surgery, or taking certain medications.

Calling Your Nurse

A button to call your nurse is located at your bedside. When you press the button, the nursing station is alerted that you need assistance, and a light flashes above your door. A staff member will respond to your signal as soon as possible.  

During the Night

Please stay in bed after you have been prepared for the night. Strange surroundings and sleeping medications may create a hazard if you get out of bed. For assistance during the night, use your call button and a member of the staff will assist you as soon as possible.

Leaving the Unit

If you want to leave the unit, please check first at the nursing station to make sure your doctor has given approval and let the staff know where you can be reached. It is important to stay in your room until your doctor has made rounds and treatments have been completed.
