Can I send get-well flowers same-day in Jersey City?
+
Same-day options depend on the delivery ZIP, requested date, florist availability and that florist's local cutoff. Check the available options before paying; a city listing does not guarantee delivery today.
Which hospitals do you deliver to around Jersey City?
+
Jersey City Medical Center at 355 Grand Street, the RWJBarnabas Level II trauma center, and Christ Hospital at 176 Palisade Avenue up on the Heights are the two inside the city. Nearby: Bayonne Medical Center on 29th Street, Hoboken University Medical Center on Willow Avenue, Palisades Medical Center on River Road in North Bergen, and Hudson Regional in Secaucus. Because most of our shops sit across the bay, Richmond University Medical Center on Bard Avenue and both Staten Island University Hospital sites are routine, as are Maimonides in Borough Park and NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn in Sunset Park. Clara Maass in Belleville sits in the Nutley shop's range.
What do hospital floors here refuse to accept?
+
Lilies are the most common refusal, for pollen and scent both. Strongly fragrant arrangements are turned away from chemotherapy floors, where nausea makes scent unbearable, and from intensive care. Potted plants and anything in soil are commonly barred from oncology, transplant and other immunocompromised units, since soil carries fungal spores; cut flowers in clean water are usually acceptable where a plant is not. Latex balloons are barred in many facilities as an allergy risk, and glass is restricted on behavioral-health units. Some units accept nothing at all. The reliable move is to call the unit, ask, and then order to the answer.
What information does a hospital delivery need?
+
The patient's full legal name as admitted, the hospital name and street address, and the unit or room number if you have it. Hospitals will not confirm a patient's presence to a delivery driver, and privacy rules mean a runner cannot ask around for someone by first name. If you do not have a room number, the unit name is usually enough for the front desk to route it. Add your own phone number too, so the shop can reach you rather than abandoning the order if the patient has been moved or discharged, which happens more often than you would think.
What does a get-well bouquet cost in Jersey City?
+

The patient is recovering at home rather than in hospital — what changes?
+
Almost everything gets easier, and the delivery logic becomes ordinary Jersey City geography. In the towers — 99 Hudson Street, the Newport buildings on Washington Boulevard, Journal Squared, Liberty Harbor North — the bouquet goes to a front desk and the resident is notified, which is fine for someone who is home all day. In the two- and three-family houses of the Heights, Greenville, Bergen-Lafayette and the West Side, tell us the floor or apartment letter, because vestibule bells are frequently unlabeled. Somebody recovering at home is usually there to answer, which makes these the highest first-attempt success rates in the city.
Can you deliver to a rehab, nursing or hospice facility?
+
Yes, and the rules are usually looser than a hospital's on scent and stricter on space. Rehabilitation and skilled-nursing rooms are small and shared, so a compact arrangement in a light plastic or ceramic vessel travels and sits better than glass. Hospice units generally welcome flowers and often ask only that they be unscented, since patients may be sensitive. Long-term care facilities frequently want deliveries during daytime hours at a reception desk rather than at a room. Put the resident's full name and the wing or floor on the order, and call the facility first if you are unsure about their delivery window.
