Visitor Information

We believe family, friends and support persons often contribute a great deal to an individual’s ability to cope with and heal from illness or disease. We strive to create a healing environment that facilitates the presence and participation of these individuals in the patient’s healthcare experience if the patient desires them to be included.

 

All visiting hours are open, except for the following circumstances:

 

• Patients have planned rest periods that may limit visitors. This will be utilized at the discretion of the patient and may be invoked by the physician or nurse in charge of the patient.

• Health care providers will support the patient’s visiting choices to provide the optimum healing environment as long as their choices do not compromise any other patient’s safety or privacy or care.

• The hospital is committed to providing a healing environment for our patients. Therefore, noise levels must remain low and visitor conduct must not disrupt the patient or others.

• The patient has a right to refuse any visitor whom they feel is not a part of their healing environment.

• Any visiting child under 12 years of age must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

• At specific times or in specific areas, the number of visitors you may have in your room may be regulated. The nursing staff will guide you with these restrictions.

• Visitors are asked not to see patients if they currently are experiencing flu like symptoms.

• Patients are advised on their visitation rights on admission. A copy of their rights is available for review in the written format in the admission packets.

• Boyd Healthcare Services does not deny visitation privileges on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, gender identity or disability.
