Preparing For Your Visit

Visitors are asked to be considerate of any roommate when they visit a patient. Anyone with a cold, respiratory infection, or other contagious disease, should postpone their visit so as not to spread the illness to patients.

Parking

Parking for patients and visitors is available at both the Main Lobby Entrance and the Emergency Care Center (ECC) Entrance.

Valet Parking

In an effort to better accommodate patients and visitors, Sturdy Memorial offers convenient curbside valet service at its Emergency Care Center (ECC) entrance. Uniformed parking attendants welcome patients and visitors at the entrance to the ECC, then park their cars in an exclusive valet parking area. If a patient's or visitor's appointment is closer to the Main Lobby Entrance, the attendant will drop the patient or visitor off before parking the car. At the conclusion of their visits to the Hospital, patients and visitors should go the ECC lobby or the Main Lobby with their valet tickets so that the attendant can retrieve their vehicles. The valet service is FREE to all patients and visitors, and is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Refreshments

Refreshments can be found in the Cafeteria on the Ground Floor, which is open from 6 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. You can also find a vending area in the Emergency Care Center, also located on the 1st Floor. No food or beverages are allowed in the Main Lobby waiting area.

Calling From Home

Patients may make phone calls from their rooms any time, but may only receive calls between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. If you know the extension number of the patient, you may call directly by dialing (508) 236 + Ext. #. If you do not know the patient's extension, you may call (508) 236-8555 and the Information Desk representative can connect you.

Flower and Balloon Policy

For the safety and comfort of our patients, Sturdy Memorial Hospital has established a flower and balloon policy. All flowers, plants and other gifts (i.e: gift baskets) should first be brought to the Information Desk. All flower arrangements must be delivered in some type of vase, since nursing stations are not equipped with these items. Live or fresh-cut evergreens are not permitted due to their flammable nature. Loose or free-flowing balloon bouquets are also not permitted. However, one single balloon (up to 18" in diameter) is permitted, as long as it is tied to, or weighted with an anchor (i.e.: a candy jar or stuffed animal). For a copy of the complete Flower and Balloon Policy, ask at the Information Desk.

Smoking

Sturdy Memorial Hospital is a smoke-free institution. Smoking is prohibited within the Hospital at all times, for all individuals (patients, employees, physicians, volunteers and visitors), and is not permitted outside the major public entrances, (i.e.: the Emergency Care Center, Main Lobby and Surgical Day Care).

Visiting Hours

Visitors are Limited to Two at a Time

Please note specific visiting hours with some age and visitor restrictions by clinical area. To protect patients, staff, and visitors, those not seeking care who have a fever, cough, or are exhibiting flu-like and/or respiratory illness symptoms will NOT be allowed to visit. We urge people to reconsider bringing children in to visit as we don't want to expose them to flu or other illnesses and cannot guarantee their protection.

Emergency Department
Visitors accompanying patients limited to one person. Excluding patients, anyone visiting who is not seeking care and is exhibiting flu-like and/or respiratory illness symptoms will be encouraged to go home.

Intensive Care
11 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Immediate family only. Children under 14 are not allowed to visit; there may be circumstances when no visitors are allowed.

Maternity

Visitors to the Maternity Unit are limited to two (in addition to the patient's significant other) and restricted to people over the age of 18 years old. The only exception to the age restriction is healthy children coming to see a new sibling. As always, the patient’s significant other will be allowed 24 hour visitation.
