"My elderly parent"

About: Geraldton Hospital

(as a relative),

My elderly parent is in room and one of the other patients in the room has had that many visitors you’d expect them to pass away in the next 5 minutes, my parent has said how they can’t rest, struggles to mobilise due to the amount of people visiting the other patient and has found it very exhausting being in the room. 

My parent has heard the nursing staff saying how they want the family to give the patient a break so they can do their nursing care.

Is there a max visitors that a person can have, there seems to be a ridiculous amount in my opinion.

Dear andromedawn35

Thank you for reaching out to us on Care Opinion.

I would like to offer my apologies to your parent that they are having challenges with the number of visitors in their room. In normal circumstances we prefer 2 visitors per patient, although we will be flexible on this when compassion is required.

I would like to see what I can do to resolve this issue for your parent. I would be grateful if you would give me a call on 9956 2369 at your earliest convenience so I can discuss this with you. From there I will endeavour to make the necessary arrangements to allow you parent to have a more restful admission at Geraldton Health Campus.

Regards

Cameron Ross
