Furniture
Each room is fully furnished. However, the newcomer can bring a safe and comfortable seat adapted to their condition or we can get one for them.
They must bring their own TV and radio for which we strongly recommend using headphones for this type of device.
If the resident wants an air-conditioner, they should check in advance with the Head of maintenance, to ensure the installation is possible. The resident must pay the costs of installation and operation.
Refrigerators are not allowed. See Administrative Policy “Use of electrical appliances in the rooms of the residents.”
Extension cords are prohibited in order to prevent fires. See Administrative Policy “Use of electric cords.”
