Facility Storage & Notification
Unit staff must be notified at the nurses’ station when patient belongings are brought into or removed from the unit. This ensures a secure environment and reduces loss. Prohibited items will be stored in a storeroom, placed in the unit safe or sent home with family or friends.
While storage for some prohibited items is allowed, Stonebridge Behavioral Hospital is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged articles. We ask that you refrain from bringing valuable items to the hospital.
