The Waiting Room, center, needs some chairs, but not necessarily enough for everyone.
GRANDPA's Hospital Room can be indicated by a bed, (sturdy 8' table with covers on top) down right, and a rolling chair for GRANDMA fun. Optional set dressing could include IV pole, hospital table, etc next to GRANDPA's bed.
HOSTESS Counter should be far downstage left, balancing Grandpa's room. A portable lectern, with the top surface flattened works for her "counter." A visible sign on front of lectern such as "Here to Help" or "Information Station" is recommended.
