Visiting Hours and Policy
Effective as of April 13, 2023
At Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital, we are committed to keeping our patients and their loved ones connected while delivering safe, high-quality care.
We recognize the importance of love and support when a patient is hospitalized or receiving care. Our patient care philosophy depends on engaging families as part of the healing process and any decision to restrict visitation and limit family presence is always difficult. However, the health and safety of our patients and employees is of utmost importance, so we continue to ask that families always respect social distancing and masking.
We are happy to allow limited visitation 24 hours a day in our inpatient areas, with the noted guidelines below for designated areas/unit. In all cases:
- Visitors must enter through the Main Entrance between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily. All visitors must enter through the Emergency Department after 10 p.m.
- We do not recommend bringing children into the hospital as visitors, but if a child is onsite, they must always remain in the appropriate room while they’re inside the facility.
- Everyone who enters the building will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms. Those who do not pass the screening are not allowed to enter unless they are the parent or legal guardian of a minor patient or the support person for a patient in labor. Other essential visitor purposes may be approved by the patient’s care team.
- Visitors must remain with the patient.
- No visitors will be allowed in the room during aerosol-generating procedures or during collection of respiratory specimens unless felt necessary by hospital staff for the care and well-being of the patient.
- Visitors are not permitted in our building for the sole purpose of shopping, dining, walking, studying, etc. All visitors must have an approved medical-related visiting purpose to enter our building.
- Personal visitors of our team members are not authorized inside of the building at this time.
