Visitor Information

Visitor Information

Melbourne Regional Medical Center understands that having loved ones by your side can help with your healing and care. You have the right to choose and prioritize visitors from among family, friends, partners, personal care aides and other individuals (regardless of the person’s gender or your relationship to the person). You can also choose a support person to be present throughout your stay, unless that person’s presence affects your health or the rights or safety of other patients. If you have any questions about your visitation rights, contact your nurse manager.

Visitor Guidelines

To provide a restful and safe environment, we ask that visitors follow  these guidelines:

 

  • Do not visit if you have a cold, sore throat, fever, COVID-19 symptoms or other illness.
  • Avoid noisy, disruptive behavior to help respect the healing of all patients.
  • Ask before bringing foods, drinks or items that might trigger allergies—like balloons, flowers or perfume—into patient rooms.
  • Wash your hands before entering patient rooms.
  • Make sure all children have a supervising adult with them at all times.

 

Visiting Hours

To promote healing and safety and limit infection, some units may limit the number of visitors you can receive at one time.


General Guidelines

All visitors are asked to check in with security. The main lobby doors are open Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 7 PM. On the weekends and after hours, please enter through the Emergency Department.


Note: Patients have the right to choose to receive visitors at any time during their stay.
