Before showing up to the hospital, make sure that you consider the patient’s health and well-being first and foremost. Here is a list of things to consider before visiting the patient.

Before visiting, consider the following:

Ask Permission to Visit
Don’t overstay your welcome and don’t exhaust the patient. Your loved one is there to heal. Be considerate of the effect your presence has on their energy and health.

Check in with Nurses First
The nursing station can inform you if anything has happened that would ban visitors. Keep up with the patient on a website that updates you on their condition.

Sanitize Your Purse & Shoes

Keep your purse off the floor. Use a sanitizer to wipe down your purse & shoes daily and keep the patient safe from germs and bacteria.

Prevent the Spread of Germs

Wash hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Sanitize your hands before and after seeing each patient. Cover your coughs or sneezes.

Don’t Use Patient Bathrooms

Use common bathrooms in the lobby or hallways. Don’t use patient bathrooms and prevent the spread of your bacteria whenever possible.

Don’t Visit if You are Sick

If you have had any symptoms of illness (cough, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.) within the past three days, don’t visit the hospital.

Check before Bringing Balloons, Flowers or Food

Many hospitals prevent flowers in Intensive Care Units. Check if the patient is allergic to latex in balloons or if the patient is on a diet. Bring artwork, family photos, a book, crossword puzzle, new pajamas, slippers, or other alternative.

Limit the Patient’s Personal Items

Keeping a hospital room clean is crucial to the patient’s wellness. Keep patient items off of the floor and away from waste containers.

Leave the Room if a Health Care Provider Needs to Speak with the Patient

If the patient’s health care provider needs to speak with the patient, the conversation is private. Unless you are a close relative or designated patient advocate, you should leave the room.

Don’t Use Your Cell Phone

Restrict your cell phone usage to the lobby areas in order to refrain from disturbing the patient, or others in surrounding rooms. Set your phone volume to silent.

Leave Children at Home

Unless absolutely necessary, leave children at home. Don’t let them play on the floor or on the bed and make sure they wash their hands before entering or exiting a hospital room.

Respect Visitation Hours

We are dedicated to the best interest of the patient. As a hospital, we reserve the right to restrict visitation at a patient’s request or if it is beneficial to the patient’s health and recovery.
