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 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. unless limited by the care team for medical necessity. Please note that visitation hours are subject to change due to COVID-19 restrictions.

We encourage family and friends to visit the hospital during open visiting hours. Due to the medical complexities of our patients, and for patient safety, we ask that children under the age of 16 refrain from visiting, except in extenuating circumstances. We also ask that people with infections or who are not feeling well, not visit while experiencing symptoms (such as a cough). Also, those guests with loved ones in isolation should take extra precautions, such as thorough hand washing and proper protective attire, which our nursing staff can help you understand.

Family and friends are encouraged to visit their loved one, however, it is recommended that only one person visit the patient room at a time, except in extenuating circumstances. 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 we are providing.

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 please take advantage of our waiting areas as needed.

Parking and Security

While visitor parking at our hospital is not free, it is charged at a rate similar to other hospitals in the area and is required by the City of Seattle. We have designated a few spaces for specific personnel, and our security staff is available to escort you to your vehicle - just dial the operator and ask for an escort.

Restrooms

Public restrooms are located throughout our hospital. Restrooms within your room are for your use only.

Meal Opportunities

Nutrition plays an important role in your recovery, so you will receive a balanced meal specific to your needs. If you would like to share a meal in our hospital with a friend or family member, 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 notice when possible. Vending machines are accessible 24 hours a day on the basement level.
