Visitor Guidelines

General Visiting Hours

Visits from family members and friends are oftentimes an important component in a patient's recovery process.  Also important is adequate rest and proper nursing care.  The ideal situation is a delicate balance of both visits and rest.

Because the health and well-being of the patient is our primary concern, sometimes it becomes necessary to limit or restrict visitation.  We ask each visitor to carefully consider the needs of the patient when visiting, and also to comply with the following visitation guidelines:

  • All tobacco products are prohibited from our building, grounds, and parking areas.  Violators may be asked to leave our premises.
  • Please check with a nurse before bringing a patient anything to eat or drink.
  • Do not give patients sweets, alcohol, cigarettes or medicine.
  • Please do not eat the patient's meals.  Nurses check to see what and how much the patient is eating.
  • Please do not visit patients if you have a cold or any other contagious condition.
  • Clergy are permitted to visit at any time other than when a patient is receiving care.
