Late

_ Visiting hours

extended

Lions Gate Hospital

Visiting hours at Lions
Gate Hospital have just been
extended on most wards.

Joyce Campbell, Nursing
Director, says the move is
made to level out the great
surge of visitors in the late
afternoon. It is also to ac-

commodate the many people
who work shifts.
“ee

There are a few éx-
ceptions, but most wards
will now be open to visitors
from. 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
daily. Hours are even longer
for parents visiting their
children,. for ‘new fathers

_ Visiting their wives on the
maternity floor and for close
relatives visiting the in-
tensive care unit.

The Extended Care Unit
has always had visiting from
early morning to 8:00 p.m.
and this will continue.

_ A few areas have shorter
hours. They are
coronary cafe unit and the
Activation Wing.

Extending visiting hours is
a matter of controversy. On
one hand, relatives and
friends want to visit as freely
as possible. On the other
hand, nurses and doctors

often express concern that
too much visiting is too tiring ©
for many patients.

Mrs. Campbell comments
that with extension of
visiting, nurses will have to
‘keep an eye on patients to
ensure that no one gets an
overdose of well-meaning
visitors. She reminds visitors
that a short, quiet visit is
great for a patients’ morale.
But, she adds, patients tire
quickly.

She also recommends that
visitors do not smoke in a
patient’s room. Smoke can
be irritating and -even
nauseating to a tecovering
patient. :

Children may visit in most
areas with permission. Their
parents should check with
about

the Head Nurse
specific regulations.
