Hospital visiting hours at Casey County Hospital are from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Swing bed patients may have visitors outside of these hours; however, care should be taken to ensure that the rights of other patients are not infringed upon[3].
The hospital strives to provide reasonable visitation privileges consistent with patient preferences while considering patient care, confidentiality, and security. Visitors designated by the patient or their support person may enjoy visitation privileges equal to those of immediate family members. The patient also retains the right to withdraw or deny consent for visitation at any time[3].
All visitors are expected to keep visits as quiet as possible, refrain from bringing in food, drinks, or medication(s), and follow infection control precautions, which may include having their temperature taken, answering questions regarding infection exposure or symptoms, wearing masks or face coverings, and practicing good hand hygiene, preferably with alcohol-based sanitizer. Exceptions to the visiting policy may be made by the Medical Director if medically necessary[3].
