For belongings, ask about clothing quantities, laundry needs, toiletries, electronics, cash, cards, nicotine products, food, supplements, journals, photographs, and religious or comfort items. For every uncertain object, record one of three answers: allowed, prohibited, or approval required. Also ask what happens to an item that arrives without approval. Do not rely on another facility’s packing list, because policies may differ.
Medication questions need exact wording. List every prescription, nonprescription medicine, vitamin, supplement, and recently discontinued drug, along with the pharmacy and prescriber information. Ask whether items must arrive in original labeled containers, whether refills or records are needed, and who must review them before arrival. Do not stop, start, change, or taper a medication based on general website content. A qualified professional should address medication decisions.
