Patients & Visitors

Current Visitation Policy

We look forward to providing you and your loved ones with a healing experience during your hospital stay. To call a patient’s room, please dial: (321) 268-6111.

The following safety measures are in place to provide a safe and healing environment for all:

• Public access is limited to the Main Entrance and the Emergency Department entrance. Security officers are posted at these entrances.
• Visitors/Partners-in-care must check-in with picture ID to receive a visitor’s badge.
• Visitors/Partners-in-care will be verified with the receiving patient/family or nursing team prior to access. Patient preference and patient wishes are given priority.
• In the unique event that visitor/partner-in-care presence must be suspended or restricted to ensure safety or confidentiality, Parrish Healthcare Care Partners will work with the visitor/partner-in-care to continue the visit as soon as possible.
  • Examples for when visitor/partner-in-care presence may need to be restricted include, but are not limited to a court order limiting or restraining contact, behavior that is a direct threat to patients, families, care partners, or others in the immediate environment, or is disruptive of the functioning of the care unit, or when required pursuant to our emergency management protocols.
• The number of people welcome at the bedside at one time during a hospital stay will be determined in collaboration with the patient, family and care team. In situations where there are shared rooms, this negotiation will include the other patient and his or her family. To ensure safety, consideration will also be given to space limitations.
• Alternative visitors (e.g. Pets and/or animal-assisted therapy) must be pre-arranged with the care team.
• Partners-in-care are individuals identified by the patient who are family members and/or other individuals that are present to support the patient during the patient’s stay.
• Quiet time, designated from the hours of 8 p.m. - 7 a.m. every day, is observed to promote a restful healing environment for patients. One way this is accomplished is by limiting disruptions from the care team and partners-in-care. If a partner-in-care stays during quiet time, he or she will be asked to obtain a pass from Security. There may be times when visitors/partners-in-care will be limited. Every effort will be made to work collaboratively and respectfully with the patient and partners-in-care to ensure the safety, quality of care, privacy, rest and confidentiality of all patients.

If at any time during your visit you would like to speak to a patient advocate or our Patient Experience Professional, please dial 321-268-6685 or 321-268-6683.
