Maintaining a safe and comfortable environment.

Receiving support from friends and family members is part of the healing process. While it’s natural to be concerned about your loved ones while they’re in our Maumee/Toledo hospital, it’s important to understand that limiting the number of visits can contribute to a speedier recovery.

Total health involves physical, mental and spiritual needs. We ask that our patients and their guests help us maintain a safe and comfortable environment by considering the following guidelines.

Visiting Guidelines

  • Visitors may be asked to leave if they are disturbing patients
  • Do not leave children unattended
  • Speak softly, and avoid unnecessary noise
  • Respect the patient. Always knock first on the door, even if it’s open, announce yourself
  • If there is a roommate, be considerate and do not make loud noises
  • Chairs are provided for the comfort of visitors – please do not sit on the patient’s bed
  • Brief visits are not as tiring to patients, so please keep visits brief so others may visit, as well
  • Discourage friends and family from visiting if they have colds or other infectious diseases. If you’re not sure, talk with a nurse before visiting.
  • Visitors may be asked to leave the room when the patient receives treatment from a doctor or nurse
  • Always check with the nurse or the registered dietitian before bringing special foods from home. Most patients are on special diets while in the hospital. Outside food is not always good for them. They should only eat food prepared for them by the hospital.
