Preparing for Your Stay

Coming to the hospital can be nerve wracking for some. Here is some information to make your stay a little bit easier. Here are some common topics that patients ask about.

Click here to read the Patient and Family Handbook.

Where do I register?

Most scheduled patients start by registering at the main desk in the D Wing Lobby. You can find out which parking lots are closest.

What should I bring with me?

  • Bring canes, walkers, wheelchairs, hearing aids, dentures, eyeglasses, or any other aid you use.
  • You are responsible for supplying your own toiletries and personal items such as toothbrush, toothpaste, hand soap, shampoo, tissues, deodorant, razor, shaving cream, comb and brush. Do not use powders and aerosol sprays as they may trigger the fire alarm. Due to patient and staff allergies, fragrance-free products are required.
  • You may wish to bring your own pajamas, a robe, slippers, or your own pillow.
  • Please bring all medications you are currently taking in their original containers, including any non-prescription medication, vitamins, and herbal remedies.
  • A change of clothes for going home.

What should I leave at home?

The hospital is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Please leave valuable items at home.

Does the hospital have wifi?

Thanks to the support of the Brant Community Healthcare System Foundation, through a donation from Cable Assembly Systems, Inc., free wifi is available throughout Brantford General Hospital. Connect with the “Guest” network and follow instructions.

How do I rent a TV or telephone?

Can I have mail sent to me?
