| What to Bring |
| Wondering what to pack in your suitcase as you prepare for your inpatient stay at Gaylord? Keep in mind that you'll probably be busy with therapies from morning through the afternoon, so comfort is a priority. Feel free to bring personal mementos such as photographs or original art by the favorite child in your life. Flowers, plants and greeting cards are also welcome additions.
Clothing Pack comfortable, practical clothing - sweat suits, shorts, t-shirts. The type of clothes you would wear at home. You don't need to buy new clothing for use in the hospital. Remember to bring swimwear in case aquatic therapy is prescribed. (Towels and terry swim robes are provided.) Shoes You'll need shoes - either oxfords with string ties or well-built athletic shoes. It isn't necessary to buy new shoes. Just bring the shoes you have. Toiletries You are welcome to bring basic toiletry items - hairbrush, comb, toothbrush, toothpaste, disposable razors, deodorant, favorite shampoo or soap - that will make your stay more comfortable. |
Equipment Please bring any assistive devices or other equipment you may be using so our staff can check them over. These may include:
Electrical Appliances You may bring battery-operated equipment, but for safety reasons, please do not bring your own electrical equipment. Gaylord provides television in your room and in the solarium of each unit. Valuables Please do not bring jewelry and other valuable items to the hospital. We ask that you keep only a small amount of cash with you. A safe is available in the Accounting Department for deposit of larger amounts of money or other valuables. Gaylord can't be responsible for loss of valuables. |
