We recommend bringing about 3 days worth of clothing and sleepwear with you on admission. Other items would include basic toiletries and change for pay phones and vending machines. We have laundry rooms for clothes washing. Patients are responsible for their personal laundry.
We encourage patients to wear their own clothes, but we need to make sure that clothing and other belongings are safe for everyone on the unit. We recommend slip-on shoes and comfortable clothes without drawstrings. Drawstrings (on pants or shirts), shoelaces, glass, metal, and other potentially unsafe items will be either placed in storage or be sent home with family members.
We discourage bringing items of value, and we are not responsible for lost or broken items.
