Getting Around @ APSH


Some vital information which helped me get around Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital with a toddler trotting along (dengue experience).


Rooftop Garden (4th floor)
If you find yourself trying to calm down your active toddler who keeps running off down the halls or playing peek-a-boo behind curtains or even trying to play with the wheelchair or food cart or trolley (or anything with wheels for that matter!), this park allows you to let your toddler run around whilst screaming their lungs out! Unfortunately, couldn't really stay out for long due to the hazy weather. 


Play Area (6th floor)
The space is quite huge with a few toys available, however, the temperature is like REALLY cold! You'd want your kid to wear socks, else, you'll end up with a tot having icy cold feet at the end of their playing session. 


Surau (1st floor)
It's also accessible via the stairs from the lobby. Quite comfortable and there's also a toilet inside as well. 


4-bedded room
Mom was admitted on the first day in Ampang Puteri's 4-bedded room (which costs RM95 per night). There's one chair available for each bed, one TV, one wardrobe with a safe inside, the bathroom and showers are separate, there's a small room for people to perform their prayers too. Unfortunately, if your neighbor is the type who often receives visitors and talk super loud (insensitive to other patients), you'd end up feeling annoyed and probably clock a higher BP! :( 


1-bedded room
The room costs RM 230 per night. You'll have an attached bathroom, one wardrobe with a safe, small fridge and praying mat inside, a tall rack, one small cabinet, your own phone and 2 chairs for visitors. If I'd have to fork out RM 230, I'd rather go to Prince Court where their rooms are RM 220 per night and you'd get to choose your own meals on top of having a comfy sofa for your visitors too, especially if they'd have to spend the night taking care of you. 


Visiting Hours
For APSH, their visiting hours are 12pm-3pm & 5pm-9pm daily.


Meals
You can't choose your own meals so mom either received porridge (most of the time) or extremely spicy dishes (ie masak lemak cili padi or masak merah) ... huhuhuhu. They offer breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner.

Their cafeteria offers a range of dishes but I'd rather make that short trip across to Ampang Point as one can't possibly eat at the cafeteria for the entire 11 days.


Parking
Parking is a nightmare especially if you were to arrive from 10am on weekdays or a Saturday. Alternatively, their valet parking is RM 13 per entry.
