Visiting a Patient
To protect the rights and privacy of patients, all visitors must have the first and last name of the patient they’re visiting. The patient also has the right to refuse a visitor at any time during a visit. If this occurs the visitor will be asked to leave the premises. Visitors will also be refused access to a patient if they visit before or after hospital hours. Visitors will be asked to leave the premises if they visit after hours, unless arrangements have been made for them to stay with a patient.

Visitors Guidelines
At OMH, we believe visitors play an important role in a patient’s recovery and we encourage you to visit your loved ones while they’re in our care, but we have a few guidelines that we ask you to follow while on hospital premises:
- All visitors should wash their hands or use the alcohol hand rub in the patient’s room.
- If you have a cold, sore throat or any contagious disease, please don’t visit.
- Please maintain a quiet environment as respect to all patients in the hospital.
- Please be considerate of both patients in a semiprivate room.
- Healthy children may visit at the nurse’s discretion. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times.

- Only two visitors at a time are allowed in a patient’s room.
- If the patient’s door or curtain is closed, check-in at the nurses station before entering.
- Due to allergies and sensitivities, latex balloons aren’t allowed. However, we do allow Mylar balloons.
- Before bringing food or drinks to any patient, check with a nurse first.
- Don’t use the patient’s bathroom. A visitors’ bathroom is located in the hallway.
- OMH is a smoke-free facility, meaning no smoking is allowed inside the hospital. OMH recognizes the hazards of smoking and enforces a no smoking policy throughout the institution.

Arrangements for a family member to stay with a patient must be made before a patient is admitted into the hospital. If the patient is a minor, OMH requires that a parent or guardian stay with the patient during the course of their hospitalization at OMH.
