Your hospital room
Heart Hospital offers single occupancy rooms, each with a bathroom. However there may be times when a patient is asked to stay in a double occupancy room. If a single room is not available on the day of your admission, we will do our best to ensure that you receive one as soon as possible.
All patient rooms are equipped with the following :
- Television and remote control
- Telephone
- Bedside cabinet
- Table
- Visitor seating
Bringing an attendant with you
Based on your doctor’s recommendation, one personal attendant may be allowed to accompany and assist you during your hospital stay. The attendant will be allowed to stay overnight in your room. Please note that attendants are not permitted in the Critical Care Unit.

During your hospital stay you will receive meals as directed by your doctor or advised by the dietetics team.

Your requests will be noted and the Catering Department will be happy to meet your requirements. If you require advice or clarification regarding your nutrition and food choices, please ask your assigned nurse to arrange for a member of the dietetics team to visit you.
Telephone calls
Each patient room has a telephone for making and receiving local calls. To make a free call to a local landline from your room, dial “9” to get an outside line follow by the number you wish to call.
To make international calls, or calls to mobile phones, you will need to purchase a phone credit card or use your personal mobile phone. Please only use your personal mobile phone when in your hospital room.
