Visiting Hours & Information
Hotel Dieu Shaver encourages visits from family and friends during the healing process of our patients. We know that having loved ones nearby makes patients more comfortable and speeds up their recovery.
Our person-centred care culture includes an open visitation policy; however, there may be times when you are asked to leave by the health care team to protect the privacy and dignity of our patients.
Family and visitors are expected to respect the privacy and dignity of all individuals, including health care providers and other family members or visitors. In this regard, no video photography or photographs are permitted within the hospital.
Important: Visitors are not permitted to visit if they are feeling unwell.
- Visitors are required to self-assess their health and wash their hands before visiting.
- No more than two visitors are to be at the patient’s bedside at any one time and children under the age of 12 must be with an adult at all times.
- Visitation should not disrupt a patient’s therapy session. If you came to visit while a patient is receiving therapy, we kindly ask that you return once therapy is complete.
- Visitation may be restricted based on current Public Health guidelines and hospital policies specific to Infection Prevention and Control. During times of reduced or restricted visitation, the core concepts of Dignity and Respect, Information Sharing, Participation and Collaboration will be regarded.
- Masking is strongly encouraged for visitors.
