Most inpatient care is provided on the 6th floor at Boston Children’s Hospital. The unit provides private rooms for patients and an adult caregiver to room in; kitchenettes; a playroom; an outdoor garden; and a resource room. Neuro-oncology patients on 8 Mandell can also take advantage of programming offered through the 6th floor resource room. Our inpatient unit offers:
- Accommodations for an adult caregiver, so children staying overnight never have to be alone
- Activity room; access to an outdoor garden available to some oncology and hematology patients and families; laundry facilities; and a special resource room filled with educational and fun activities
- Kitchenettes with separate refrigerators to store patient and parent food
Each patient room has a private wardrobe, limited storage space, and entertainment features, including a TV with a DVD player, PlayStation 5, and internet access.
