Preparing For Your Stay
Due to the lack of storage space, please limit personal items to one small bag. Items brought in by patients are the sole responsibility of the patient. St. Luke’s will not be held responsible for any missing, lost/stolen or damaged items.
During the summer (Memorial day to Labor day) please bring an appropriate bathing suit i.e. one piece for women and knee length swim trunks for men.
Always give the belongings you may bring in to the staff first. Avoid bringing items in plastic bags.
All belongings brought onto the units will be searched.
Washers/dryers are available on each unit.
