HP House / Assayag's Center: what is there for you to use?
« on: December 19, 2024, 10:18:06 PM »

Just going to list out some questions-- thank you :)

Note: I understand Assayag + HP house is NOT some luxury stay such as Betz / Becker's clinic. So I'm sure these questions could come off as entitled or out of touch-- that is not my intention.

1. Exercise: Is there a small gym or something either at the hospital, at the house, or nearby you can use? Dumbbells or cable machine? Bonus: is this a dumb question because even if there was equipment, I'm going to be too exhausted to even use it?

2. PT center: Are you only allowed to use equipment there during your PT sessions? or can you stroll in and use the other equipment available when you'd like?

3. Pool: Is there a pool for water exercises, either at the hospital or nearby?

4. Surrounding area: Do any of you stroll around the nearby area just to get outside for fresh air, or is safety a concern?

5. Television: I'd bring a nintendo switch to use with other patients. Is there a community television at HP house I'd be able to hook it up to for us to use?

Thank you!

Yeah there’s a big tv, I forgot to bring my switch I play SSBU.
It’s an open gym but the equipment is mostly bicycles and leg stuff with a few dumb bells and vibrating plates. It’s not much. It’s pretty nice here but I wouldn’t leave here. The neighborhoods around the hospital go from nice suburbs to super ghetto. There’s a lot of homeless people are the hospital outskirts. I don’t think you can use PT centers stuff whenever, but I could be wrong. I think after your session if you want to use something and they’re not busy they might. I go outside for air and sun it’s very safe, there’s hospital security, but as soon as you go up the road a little it can be rough with homeless people so I don’t leave the actual hospital if I’m not in a car. I wouldn’t scooter up the road
