Visitation Guidelines

Welcome! We would like for you to feel comfortable while visiting our units. The guidelines below are designed for the benefit of the mothers and babies in the San Manuel Maternity Pavilion and to help us deliver the best medical care.

Inpatient visitation is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with the following guidelines:

• Visitation is limited to two people at a time for safety.

• All support people should be fully immunized for the protection of the newborn.

• Visitors should have no signs of illness.

• Visitors should follow good hand-washing technique.

• Visitors may be asked to leave when procedures/assessments are being done that necessitate patient privacy, i.e., admission process, examinations, epidurals, etc.

• Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult and will be allowed two hours of visitation each day. Additional restrictions may be in place to comply with California Department of Public Health orders.

• Visitors are requested to stay in the patient’s room or wait in the designated family lounge on the fifth floor or lobby level to ensure patient safety and privacy. Hallways and the nursing station must be kept clear.

Antepartum and Mother and Baby

• Our San Manuel Maternity Pavilion is a quiet environment where new mothers and babies can spend their postpartum recovery time in private or semi-private rooms.

• Antepartum patients will be allowed visitors between the hours of 8 a.m.-9 p.m.

• Quiet time (a calming period followed by patient rest) is from 2-4 p.m., to promote healing, mother and baby bonding and family bonding. During this time, we encourage limited visitation.

• Visitors may be limited when there are two patients in a room.

Labor and Delivery

• Complications of pregnancy or labor requiring intensive care may occur. Please be advised that in these circumstances, support people may be asked to leave at the discretion of the medical team.

• After delivery, visitors will be allowed a period of 15 minutes to visit with mother and baby. At the end of 15 minutes, visitors will be asked to leave the patient room to allow mother, baby and significant other to have quiet bonding time until transferred to the postpartum unit.

Operating Room

Visitation is based on your medical team's discretion. In most cases, one support person will be allowed in the operating room (OR). If general anesthesia is administered, your support person will wait for you to come out of the OR and will be able to be with you while you recover.

Recovery Area

• Patients may have one designated support person with them during recovery.

• Switching of the support person is at the discretion of clinical staff to ensure safety and privacy of recovering patients.
