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.

- 4 , 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.
