Patients & Visitors
Current Visitor Guidelines
At this time, we must limit visitors to one (1) person per patient. Visitors must be 16 years old or older. Patients in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are allowed two (2) visitors. The maternity center will allow limited sibling visitation for those under the age of 16.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Visitor Guidelines
Our first priority at Crestwood Medical Center is always the health and safety of our patients, their families and our staff. We understand that the current environment has created unexpected challenges for everyone. While we are still currently limiting visitors to our facility, we are now allowing two visitors per patient.
We appreciate the community's patience and cooperation as we seek to deliver safe, quality care to patients and their loved ones. In order to do so, there are guidelines for visitors:
- All visitors must be 16 years of age and older unless an exceptional circumstance exists.
- All visitors will be screened for fever/temperature and COVID-19 exposure history.
- Anyone exhibiting symptoms of illness cannot be allowed in our facility (unless they are the patient).
- All visitors must wear a mask or appropriate face covering at all times, must observe social distancing, and must sanitize their hands frequently. If the visitor is unable or unwilling to wear a mask, he/she may not be allowed to participate as a visitor.
- Visitors may obtain meals from Crestwood’s Café; however, he/she should minimize movement outside of the patient’s room.
- The maternity center will allow limited sibling visitation for those under the age of 16.
Password Protection
Upon admission, a pass code will be established so that communication can take place between the hospital staff and family members. This pass code is used for identification during the hospitalization. Only the designated contact person may call for an update.
Supporting an Adult Patient
A point of contact (family member or caregiver age 18 and over) and a support plan will be established upon admission. The point of contact will be communicated with on a daily basis.
Surgery Patients
Adult surgery patients who stay overnight may have one (1) visitor in their room, unless patient is in a restricted area.
Pediatric surgery patients may be accompanied by two (2) visitors in their room prior to surgery. One (1) visitor may stay with the pediatric patient overnight.
End-of-Life Care
One (1) visitor in their room is allowed to support the patient during end-of-life care. If supporting a COVID-19 patient, thorough education on risk and personal protective equipment (PPE) is required.
Supporting a Patient in Mother-Baby, Labor & Delivery, Antepartum and NICU
- Two (2) visitors in their room for the mother.
- NICU – The mother and one (1) visitor in their room are allowed.
- Limited sibling visitation for those under the age of 16.
