Ensuring Your Safety and Comfort in Bed

If you need assistance lowering the rails, please do not hesitate to call our attentive staff for help. Your safety is our priority within our doctors community hospital environment.
If you experience any difficulty getting in or out of bed, or if your medical condition increases your risk of slipping or falling, please use your call bell or contact your nurse immediately. Waiting for assistance is crucial to prevent injuries and ensure your well-being during your stay at Doctors Community Hospital.

To maintain a tidy and safe environment in your private room at Doctors Community Hospital, we kindly request that you keep only essential personal items, such as toiletries, in your room. Should you require personal grooming supplies, please don’t hesitate to ask, as we can readily provide these for you.
Doctors Community Hospital cannot assume liability for valuables kept within your room. For safekeeping of valuable items, we offer a secure storage service within the hospital’s safe. To arrange for the secure storage of your valuables, or to retrieve them, simply dial 0 from your room telephone to reach security, or ask your nurse to contact security on your behalf. This service is part of our commitment to providing peace of mind during your time at our doctors community hospital.

Communication is key to ensuring you feel supported and informed during your stay at Doctors Community Hospital. You are welcome to use your personal cellphone to connect with family and friends. Additionally, your room telephone allows you to make calls outside the hospital, keeping you connected to your broader community.
For immediate assistance or to speak with a nurse, Doctors Community Hospital provides several convenient options:
- Dial the Nurse’s Number: You will find your nurse’s direct number clearly displayed on the whiteboard in your room for easy and direct contact.
- Use the Call Button: Located at your bedside, pressing the call button activates our intercom system at the nurses’ station, allowing you to speak directly with a nurse. For patients with sensitivities, we offer sensitive or “light-touch” call buttons upon request, ensuring accessibility for all.
