A Guide to A Good Visit
At Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center, we support equal visitation (receiving visitors of your choice) and realize the essential role all visitors play in a patient's recovery. For the comfort of our patients, we ask that visitors please observe the following guidelines for a good visit:
- In order to give patients the opportunity to enjoy each visitor, we recommend limiting visitors to two at a time.
- Help us create a quiet, healing environment by limiting noise and maximizing privacy for all patients.
- Please cooperate when Healthcare team members ask you to wait in a lounge area while delivering patient care.
- Please refrain from visiting if you are visibly ill (i.e., sneezing, coughing, etc.).
- Please see the nurse for instructions related to visitation of minors.
- For their own safety, please do not leave minors unattended in waiting rooms.
- Please check with the patient’s nurse regarding any dietary restrictions before offering food or beverages to the patient.
- For the safety and protection of patients and staff with allergies, latex balloons are not permitted. Mylar balloons are acceptable in all areas of the Medical Center.
- We have provided hand sanitizers throughout the hospital to protect you and your loved ones from the spread of infection. Please use them before and after your visit. Rub your hands until dry for at least 15 seconds upon arrival prior to entering a patient’s room.
- To promote a quiet environment, please do not make cell phone calls in the patient rooms or on the units. Feel free to go to the lounge or waiting area if you need to make a call.
- Please keep your cell phones on “vibrate” while visiting.
- The staff recognizes your commitment to your loved one and understands that you need time for yourself away from the hospital.
