For whom?
The family residence at the Gasthuisberg campus provides a place to stay in hospital for relatives of hospitalised patients. The family residence only offers short stays, with a maximum of 7 nights. The patient can spend the night before admission at the family residence.
The family stay can be extended for:
- relatives of patients staying at the hospital in an emergency department or intensive care unit.
- parents of children admitted to hospital, if they cannot stay in their child's patient room.
Patients with a planned procedure at the surgical day centre and their relatives can also stay at the family residence the night before as well as the night after the procedure, i.e. a maximum of 2 nights. After anaesthesia, the presence of a companion is mandatory in every case. Keep in mind that no medical care is administered at the family residence. You must therefore be self-reliant at all times.
