Visitation Policy
Currently visitation may be restricted due to COVID-19 and other respiratory illness. View current restrictions.
Parkwest Medical Center’s primary concern is for the welfare and speedy recovery of our patients. We ask that guests exercise special courtesy and sensitivity when visiting patients.
General visiting hours are 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Some patients and special care areas, however, have restricted visiting hours. Thank you for your cooperation in observing this schedule and any other visiting restrictions posted in the interest of individual patients.
Visiting Hours in Critical Care Unit
Patients in the critical care areas are very ill. They have an increased need for rest so they can heal and recuperate, so we have special guidelines for visitation to these areas.
Patients may have visits from 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m., and 8:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. Only two visitors may visit a patient at one time.
Visitors must be 12 years of age or older to visit patients in critical care.
Recommended Visiting Hours for Senior Behavioral Health
For our patients to conserve strength and receive excellent care without interruption, we recommend that visitation occur between 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. daily to ensure therapeutic measures are met during the patient’s stay.
- All visitors must check-in at the nurses’ station prior to going to their loved one’s room.
- Children under the age of 16 are not permitted on the unit.
- Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times while on the unit.
