Protect your valuables
We understand that patients need to keep items such as eyeglasses, dentures, and hearing aids with them. Please leave cash, jewelry, and other valuables at home and follow these tips to protect your belongings.
- Ask the nursing staff to label items such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs, hearing aids/cases, eyeglasses/cases, and denture cups.
- Do not put eyeglasses, dentures, or other valuables on meal trays, in your bed, or in pillowcases; Mixed in with dirty dishes or laundry, they may be removed from your room by mistake.
- Keep eyeglasses in their case when not in use (to avoid breakage or loss).
- Use only designated containers for dentures and hearing aids.
- Use the hospital safe to secure your valuables until you leave the hospital.
