Visitation Policy

Providing high-quality, safe patient care has always been our priority and we are vigilant with all of our infection prevention measures. More than anything we want to provide our patients with a safe environment so they can focus on their rehabilitation journey and rebuild their lives.

Learn more about the ways we are protecting your safety.

 

Visitation Policy (4/12/2023)

  • We are allowing hospital patients to have two visitors at a time during the designated visiting hours of 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, seven days per week. 
  • Patients may have more than two visitors each day. However, only two visitors per patient will be allowed in the room at one time. We encourage families and friends to coordinate visitation times.
  • Visits may take place outside, weather permitting.
  • Children of any age may visit.  
  • We understand how important it is for you and your loved ones to be able to connect during these difficult times. That is why we continue to utilize video conference applications such as FaceTime, Microsoft Teams, and Google Duo to support these important relationships. Our goal is to help you feel connected.
  • When appropriate, we also offer Care Partner Education Sessions to make sure that this individual is prepared for the next steps once their loved one is discharged. Our case managers will work directly with this individual to schedule any sessions.

Visitors may be restricted if one of the following is a concern: 

  • The presence of a visitor would be medically or therapeutically contraindicated in the best clinical judgement of the healthcare professional. 
  • The presence of the visitor would interfere with the care of or rights of any patient. 
  • Visitors are engaging in disruptive, threatening, or violent behavior toward any staff member, patient, or another visitor. 
  • Visitors are noncompliant with hospital policy. 

The hospital may require visitors to wear personal protective equipment provided by the facility or provided by the visitor and approved by the facility. Northeast Rehabilitation Hospital may require visitors to comply with reasonable safety protocols and rules of conduct to maintain a safe and mutually respectful environment for all of our patients, staff, and visitors.

We thank you for partnering with us to create a safe healing environment for everyone we serve.
