Shabbos Accommodations
 


When a patient is hospitalized his greatest comfort is the presence of a family member at his bedside. When hospitalized over Shabbos or Yom Tov, Partners in Health Bikur Cholim, understanding the desperate situation facing family members has provided a solution. For the comfort of the family in this time of crisis, fully equipped Shabbos Rooms, have been established to provide them with sleeping and eating accommodations on the hospital premises.

These clean and fully stocked Shabbos Rooms in Good Samaritan Hospital, Nyack Hospital and Westchester Medical Center are crucially important for the morale of hospitalized patients and their families.

Each Shabbos Room is maintained scrupulously with fresh delicious food, challahs, cakes, cholents and kugels kept hot on a special shabbos hot plate. Freshly made beds with amenities that include robes, books and even toothbrushes, help create an atmosphere of warmth and caring.

All the thoughtful touches help make a stressful situation bearable allowing the family to focus their full attention on the patient - a father, a mother, a spouse or a child.
