BIRTHING SUITES
The Arbour Birth Center has three birth suites. The three birth suites are all the same yet different in decor and feel. Each suite has the same basic furnishings and the same equipment with either a double or a queen size bed, a rocking chair, a window seat, and an ensuite bath with a birthing tub. Families are welcome to use candles, aromatherapy and customs of their culture.
Families choose from the available suites at the time they arrive in labour.
THE ROSE SUITE
The Rose Room is the largest suite in the Arbour Birth Centre and is popular due to the amount of space it offers, as well as the brightness of the room from the south facing bay windows and the relaxing tone of the decor.
