Avera Queen of Peace Accommodations

Your Room

Your room assignment at Avera Queen of Peace Hospital is based upon your admitting diagnosis and the bed availability on the day of your admission. Private and semi-private rooms are available.

Calling Your Nurse

A button to call your nurse is located at your bedside. When you press the button, the nursing station is alerted that you need assistance. A staff member will come to your room or use the intercom to communicate with you.

Your Hospital Bed

Hospital beds are electrically operated and your nurse will show you how to properly work the controls for your bed. You may be requested to keep your bed in a certain position because of your medical condition.

Television

Color television sets are provided at no charge in each room. Please refer to the schedule posted on your bulletin board regarding programming for all channels. Reflection videos can be viewed daily on Channel 2 from 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. and from 6:30 p.m. - 12:30 a.m. Mass may be seen on Channel 2 every Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. Please be considerate of other patients by keeping the volume low on your TV.

Room Temperature

All rooms in the hospital are centrally heated and air conditioned. If your room temperature is not comfortable, please notify the nursing staff.

Valuables

Patients are asked not to bring items of value to the hospital. If you do bring a valuable item or cash in excess of $5.00, it should be deposited in the safe in the Admitting Office. You will be given a written receipt for all items which must be presented when you withdraw them. The hospital does not accept responsibility for items of value unless they are deposited in the safe. If you lose something, please notify your nurse right away and we will make every effort to help you find it.

Housekeeping

Your room is cleaned six days a week by a member of the Housekeeping staff. There are no routine housekeeping services on Sundays or holidays. If there is a housekeeping problem in your room, please tell your nurse.
