During Your Stay

Patient rooms are organized by medical specialty and assigned based on each patient’s medical need. If you have a preference you may request it, but your first choice may not always be available. There are two room options: semi-private, which is covered by insurance, and private, which includes an additional charge not necessarily covered by insurance. We recommend that you check with your insurance carrier in advance to see what’s covered under your policy.

A telephone is provided at your bedside at no charge.

Free high-speed wireless Internet is available for use inside patient rooms, waiting areas and outdoor courtyards. You are welcome to connect using your mobile device. No password is required.

All Montefiore Einstein campuses are tobacco-free. Smoking and vaping are strictly prohibited in, on and around our hospitals, residential public areas, clinics, buildings, offices, entrance ramps, loading docks, parking lots, garages, outdoor gardens and courtyards.

We’re sensitive to the cultural dietary needs of our patients. Meals served at Jack D. Weiler Hospital are prepared under rabbinical supervision in accordance with Jewish dietary laws (kashruth). If you have any special meal requests, the Nutrition Department at your hospital can assist you between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. daily.

Patient mail, including gifts and flowers, is delivered on weekdays, with the exception of holidays. If you know that someone would like to send you something, please tell them to include the hospital address, your name and your room number.

It’s a good idea to start thinking about your discharge in advance. For a safe and comfortable departure, you should have arrangements in place before you leave, such as determining who will bring you home, what medications you will need, and when your follow-up appointments should be.
