Tips for your visitors

GUIDELINES TO PROMOTE HEALING

We welcome visitors. We know that family and friends can offer comfort and help you get well. We ask that all visitors follow the guidelines below to help you and other patients heal.

Visiting hours and policies vary throughout the hospital; please ask your nurse to confirm the visiting hours in your unit.

Please limit the number of visitors in your room to two.

If you wish to have more than two visitors in your room at any one time, please talk with your nurse. Children 12 and older are welcome to visit, but must come with an adult. Children under age 12 may visit if your nurse gives the OK.

Sometimes, visitors are not allowed.

At some times, the staff may limit or deny visitors other than your 24/7 support person, if the visits interfere with medical care. Before visiting, it is recommended that visitors call ahead to the nursing unit in charge of your care. Please call 207-301-8000 and ask for the unit’s nursing station.

Restrooms.

Public restrooms are located in the main hallway on the first floor of the hospital. There are additional restrooms on the ground floor in both the medical surgical north and south wings. Depending on the unit you are in, there may be additional public restrooms. Please ask your nurse.

No personal pets are allowed.

While we love our personal pets, for the health and well-being of all the patients, personal pets are restricted from visiting. Service dogs are allowed per the Americans with Disabilities Act. Therapy dogs are allowed per Infection Control policy.
