We take pride in our facilities, and we make sure our patient rooms are as comfortable as possible. It is important that your healing takes place in a nurturing environment. Natividad offers private rooms with a single bed and semi-private rooms, which have two beds. Rooms are assigned depending on what is available and each patient’s medical needs. Each patient room has a wall-mounted television with major network channels at no extra charge. Newspapers are delivered with breakfast trays.
Telephone Calls
Telephones are located at each bedside. In the ICU, all calls are screened by a nurse before being connected to the patient, to ensure the patient is able to take the call. Patients may make local phone calls free of charge. Please contact the hospital operator by dialing 0 on your phone for assistance with long distance calls. Family and friends may call (831) 755-4111 and provide the operator with the patient’s name and room number to be transferred to a patient room. The caller will also have to provide an access code if the patient has chosen one for privacy reasons. Calls are permitted between 7:00 am to 10:00 pm, seven days a week. Quiet Time is 10:00 pm to 7:00 am. If a family member calls during Quiet Time, they will be connected to the nurses station in order speak to their loved one.
