Bannister Family House: FAQ |
|
- Do I have to leave if the patient I'm visiting is transferred to another facility?
Yes, Bannister Family House is only intended for families visiting patients at UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest and Thornton Hospital in La Jolla. A family can stay for 24 hours after a patient is transferred unless other arrangements have been made with the director. View Eligibility & Room Fees
- When the patient is discharged, can he/she stay at Bannister Family House for a few days before we return home?
It depends on the situation. A physician must deem it medically necessary for the patient to stay and do have daily appointments (i.e., final tests, biopsies etc.).
A physician must also approve of the patient's stay at Bannister House and a family member must accompany the patient at all times in the house. If you are intending to have the patient stay at the Bannister Family House, please see a Manager. View Eligibility & Room Fees
- When do I pay for my room?
You may arrange a payment schedule that is most convenient for you with a Manager. However, you must pay a minimum of three nights at the time of check-in. View Eligibility & Room Fees
