Visiting Guidelines

LHSC is committed to working with patients and families to provide compassionate, high-quality care. We believe it is important for patients to experience the support of family and friends.

• Visiting is based on the condition, care needs, and expressed wishes of each patient in the unit.
  
  
• For this reason, visiting times may vary between patients and units. We ask patients or visitors to check with unit staff about optimal visiting times.
  
  
• As well, visiting may be interrupted to provide appropriate patient care.
  
  
• Visiting will be restricted to protect the privacy rights of other patients or to maintain safety and security.
  
  
• Family members supporting a patient between the overnight hours of 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. are asked to remain in the patient’s room and advise unit staff when coming to and leaving the unit.

If you have any questions please speak with your care provider.
