Inpatient Care

All visitors must check in at reception upon entering the hospital. Lanyards are provided to inpatient families/guardians and visitors and should be always worn. Certain areas are restricted for health and safety reasons. Visitors meeting with staff must make prior arrangements and are restricted to designated common areas unless other arrangements have been made.

Family Presence and Visiting a Client

We welcome parents/guardians/caregivers and visitors (relatives, siblings, and guests):

• During the day, up to two people maximum (parent/guardian/caregiver or visitor) at a time are welcome at the child’s bedside.
   
• Overnight between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., one parent/guardian/caregiver (16 or older) may stay at the child’s bedside. A second parent/guardian/caregiver can remain until 11 p.m. if necessary.

We allow one additional child under 30 months of age at the bedside at any time.

Visiting hours (relatives, siblings, and guests)

• On weekdays, since the client will be busy in therapy programs, visitors are encouraged to visit from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
   
• On weekends, visiting hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Visit only if you are well
