Inpatient Care at Boston Children's Hospital

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.
