Question & Answer --> Housing
There are currently two housing options available. The first possible housing option is Apartment 910, which is a fully equipped apartment 9 floors above the Center only available for families of our patients. The one-bedroom apartment consists of 2 twin beds, a nightstand and a double dresser. There is an eat-in-kitchen with a table and four chairs as well as 2 very large closets and a changing table. The kitchen is comprised of a full size refrigerator, stove, microwave as well as a toaster and coffee maker. There is a TV, Cable and VCR in the living room as well as children's videotapes. The kitchen is supplied with dishes, cups and utensils. There are sheets and blankets both on the beds and in the closets as spares to be used for emergency changing. A washer and dryer are available in the basement of the complex. There is a high chair as well as a crib and a day crib. The fee is $57.00 a day. A check for the initial 30-day stay in the amount of $1,710.00 will need to be submitted prior to admission. A $400 deposit in the form of check will be required for the key. This check will be discarded when the key is returned at departure. The Center provides limited housing for those families residing more than 50 miles from St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center. There is NO TELEPHONE LINE provided in apartment 910. Guests are asked to provide their own cell phone or calling card for use at the public phone in the lobby.
Families have also stayed at hotels close to the Center. Two of the hotels recommended by parents include the Holiday Inn located in Totowa (973) 785-9000 and the Best Western Hotel in Fairfield (973) 575-7700.
