Yet, we also want to be sure that your desires and those of other patients for privacy and rest are respected as well. The needs of the patient are a priority in any decision about visiting. Patients who wish to limit visitors or visiting times should let the staff know and we will do our best to help. Generally, the best hours for visiting are from 11 am to 8 pm. We encourage family and friends to visit during these hours.
Some units have specific times for visiting.
Please check with your nurse regarding visiting hours. If family and close friends are not able to visit during these hours or if they need to see a patient throughout the day or night, again we ask to you talk to your nurse. Quiet can be important day and night. When visiting, please consider the needs of the patient as well as other patients nearby. Even during daytime hours, patients may be catching up on their sleep or may have just received medication for pain and rest.
