Visitors Guide / Visitor Responsibilities

San Dimas Community Hospital understands that visitors play a vital role in the mental well-being and recovery of patients; therefore, the visitation guidance for our facility encourages safely getting family members and loves ones to the bedside. 

Visitation is 24/7. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Maximum visitation is two visitors per patient.

For the safety and protection of our patients and visitors, all visitors will be required to provide a photo ID to be held by the front desk during your visit. This requirement ensures we will be able to account for any visitors that are in our hospital in the event of an emergency. There is a limit of 2 visitors per patient room.

Visitors Guide / Visitor Responsibilities

We encourage loved ones to visit patients and we make every effort to provide a safe and comfortable environment for our patients and visitors. While receiving care, patients have the right to decide who may or may not visit, and those visitors are allowed without regard to race, color, national origin, language, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, or socioeconomic status.

 Our staff and caregivers understand the important role that visitors and support persons play and every effort is made to ensure that our patients’ support person is embraced as a valued member of the care team.

  • To safeguard the comfort of all our patients, visitors are asked to talk quietly and leave promptly when visiting hours have ended.
  • The visiting times and/or the number of visitors may be limited in certain circumstances – and vary unit by unit – to protect the health, safety, and privacy of our patients.
  • If visitors are not feeling well or have an illness that can be transferred to our patients, please refrain from visiting.
  • Visitors must follow infection control precautions, keep noise to a minimum, refrain from taking photographs or videos, and comply with restrictions on smoking, alcohol and illegal substances.
  • Before entering and after leaving your loved one’s room, make sure to wash your hands.
  • All children must be in the company of a responsible adult and may not be left unattended.
