The
Hackerman-Patz House is a comfortable and convenient place to stay-a home away
from home-designed with the patient in mind.
The front
door of the Hackerman-Patz House is just steps from the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics,
the International Center for Limb
Lengthening, Sinai
Hospital and the campus of the Levindale Hebrew Geriatric
Center and Hospital
.
The
staff at the Hackerman-Patz House is dedicated to keeping guests safe and
secure, and to helping to create an atmosphere that is as homelike as possible.
You will have the freedom to maintain the privacy of your family so that you can
draw strength from one another, and, if you choose, the opportunity to find
support through interaction with other guests.
Guest suites at the
Hackerman-Patz House resemble deluxe hotel rooms. They are equipped with beds,
sitting area, private baths, microwave, refrigerator, coffee pot, room safe,
telephone and censored (child-safe) cable television with a VCR-DVD
combination.
There is a common area that all guests may share.
Check In/Out
Guests may check in between 2 and 5 p.m. Guests should
check out by 12 p.m. to avoid incurring charges for an additional night. Notify
the Director of the house immediately if you cannot check in or out as specified
here. You will be given an access code to the front door and main gate when you
check in.
Help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. During business hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) the Director may be reached by phone at 410-601-5163. The house manager may be paged at any time at 410-890-0651. To page from a house phone, dial 9 before entering the pager number. Enter your call back number when prompted.
Telecommunications
Phones are located in
each guest room and in various areas of the guest house. You will be assigned a
phone extension when you check in. You may receive or make calls any time of
day. Local calls are free. Friends and family may reach you by calling
1-800-444-8233, but they must be able to provide your exact room extension
number for the operator to connect the call. To protect the privacy of our
guests, the operator will be unable to connect to rooms by name only. Wireless
Internet is available for your convience.
Communal Areas
Patients and their
families, along with invited visitors, may gather in our great room and enjoy
the warmth of its stone fireplace. On sunny days, you may venture outdoors to
the terrace.
Drinks and snacks are available for purchase in the vending
room.
There is also a multipurpose playroom and conference room for
organized activities and meetings. Video games and systems are available to
tenants but must be signed out through the house manager.

LifeBridge Health does not discriminate on the basis of
