Supporting Your Loved One

We believe support from family and friends is a critical component of recovery. Whether your loved one can respond to you or not, you can help keep their spirits up by simply being there. We encourage visits as often as possible and invite you to bring family pictures, letters, and cherished personal items to surround your loved one with postivity.

Information such as visitation policies, parking, and cafetria hours are included below for your convenience. If you have any questions after reviewing this page, please give us a call!

Family Involvement

At Kindred Hospitals, we take an interdisciplinary approach to care planning and we believe family members are an important part of that team. At your request, we can hold family meetings with your loved one’s care team to discuss progress, provide education on a treatment plan, or review the discharge plan in preparation for post-hospital life. Our staff is ready to make your experience with us as pleasant and inclusive as possible. Please ask a case manager if you would like to schedule one of these discussions.

Hospital Information

Visiting Hours

General Visiting Hours are unrestricted, unless limited by the care team for medical necessity.

We encourage family and friends to visit as you are welcome in most areas of the hospital during open visiting hours; including supervised, well-behaved children. Due to the medical complexities of our patients, we ask that children under the age six refrain from visiting, except in extenuating circumstances. We also ask that people with infections not visit while symptomatic (such as a cough) and those guests with loved ones in isolation take extra precautions – such as thorough hand washing and proper attire, which our nursing staff can help you understand.

It is recommended that only two persons visit at a time and please remember that the house supervisor may recommend limited visitation for the best possible recovery of your loved one. Additionally, some of our units have special visiting hours because of the critical nature of the care being given.

If your loved one is receiving care in our Intensive Care Unit, we recommend immediate family only. If a large group does wish to visit, we ask you limit the number of guests in the room at one time and to please take advantage of our waiting areas as needed.

Parking

While visitor parking at our hospital is free of charge. We have designated a few spaces for specific personnel and our security staff or other personnel is available to escort you to your vehicle – just ask for the House Nursing Supervisor to help arrange.

Restrooms

Public restrooms are located throughout our hospital; restrooms within your loved ones room is for their use only. Visitors may stay overnight in semi-private rooms only if space permits and if the roommate agrees.

Overnight Stays

One family member may stay overnight if the patient has a private room; please speak with the nurse to request a chair/cot.

Meal Opportunities

Nutrition plays an important role in your loved one’s recovery, so they will be receiving a balanced meal specific to their needs. If you would like to share a meal in our hospital, please speak to the nurse on duty to request a guest tray. There may be a nominal charge and we ask for two hours of advance noticed when possible. Vending machines are accessible 24 hours a day on the basement level.
