My son is b eh going to have a retina surgery this shabbos (Rav said it's ok) in great neck. I know there is a lot we will have to prepare and do but the first thing that I am concerned is a place to stay. Has anyone gone there for shabbos ? Are there any hotels ? Bikur cholim ? Where can I call to get help ?
Bikur Cholim - The Great Neck Bikur Cholim program centers on Shabbos / Yom Tov Housing and visits to patients at LIJ – Long Island Jewish & North Shore Community Hospital. Both hospitals have chaplains on staff and each hospital offers glatt kosher foord to patients that request it. At LIJ, we have an apartment at Glen Oaks that houses up to four people, with-in the eruv and in walking distance to the hospital and the Young Israel of New Hyde Park. At North Shore, there is housing in small rooms on the hospital campus for relatives of patients.
