Columbus Specialty Hospital Visitation Policy Covid-19 Restrictions

Visitation Policy Update

Effective 8/6/2021

COVID-19 Restrictions

We have put great consideration into the measures we take to protect the safety of our staff and patients.  At this time, we have decided to limit visitors to the hospital.  The criteria for visitation is as follows:

• Visitation is from 0800-2000.
• People ages 16 and under are prohibited from entering the hospital.
• Please do not enter the hospital if you are experiencing any symptoms of illness.
• Only 2 “designated” visitors will be allowed per patient for the entire length of stay at the facility.  These visitors are to be established on admission.  Both visitors may visit on the same day, but we ask only one at the bedside at the time.  Please arrange your visits accordingly. 
• All visitors must check in at the Main Nurses’ Station for screening prior to entrance into the patients’ rooms.
• All visitors are required to wear a mask for the duration of their visit—including at the patients’ bedside. 
• All visitors are required to remain inside the patients’ rooms for the entire visit.  Visitors are not allowed to roam the hallways.  Visitors may use the restrooms inside of patients’ rooms and are asked to use the call light to communicate needs or concerns. 
• Once you leave the building after checking in for the day, we ask that you not return to the facility until the following day.

We recognize that family support is important to recovery and are accommodating as much as possible.  We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time.  Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

If you have any questions please call or email.
