Where should I go when I arrive?
Whether you arrive by ambulance or private car, just follow the signs to the Health Center. You will enter via the front door.

If you need assistance in transferring from the car, your driver can let us know and we will gladly assist you.

Am I allowed to keep spending money in my room?
Yes, however we suggest that you open a Resident Fund account with the front office, as we do not encourage persons to keep money in their room. You can withdraw money Monday through Friday during normal business hours.
