Only two visitors are allowed to visit at one time for 10-15 minutes at a time. We ask that you coordinate the visit with the nursing staff. Families are encouraged to wait downstairs in the first floor waiting area. When special needs arise on the unit for patients and families, a consultation room is available for use. Please remember that care involves 24 hours a day monitoring, which means you may be asked to step out of the room during your visit.
Every patient is requested to have a designated person to whom phone calls can be directed.
They will be given a card with the unit's telephone number which they can call. With respect to patient confidentiality, limited information will be given over the phone. Personal clothing should be taken home if the stay is greater than two to three days. The hospital cannot be responsible for lost or damaged personal items. If valuables are brought with the patient, the family will be asked to take them home or Security will be notified to place them downstairs in the safe until discharge.
