Patients & Visitors
Effective Monday, February 22, Carlsbad Medical Center is pleased to announce our expanded visitation hours and guidelines as follows:
Inpatient visitation for all units will now be permitted between the hours of 6 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. daily. With the exception of our OB department, only one visitor per patient will be allowed at a time, but there is no restriction on the number of visitors who rotate. OB patients will only be allowed a total of one support person for the duration of their stay.
Visitors may enter through the main lobby Monday - Friday, but will still need to use the ER entrance on the weekends.
ER patients may still have one person at a time accompanying them, with no restriction on duration or rotation. Visitors are to remain masked while in the emergency department.
Upon arrival, all visitors to the facility will still have their temperature taken, asked appropriate screening questions and asked to wear a mask and sanitize their hands. Social distancing methods still apply in waiting areas and throughout the facility.
The safety of our providers and employees while we deliver quality, compassionate care is our top priority. We thank our staff for their continued commitment to our patients, and we thank the community for your understanding and support during these challenging times.
At Carlsbad Medical Center, we understand that coming to the hospital as a patient or as a loved one's support person can be a difficult, often overwhelming experience. Whether you’re preparing for a hospital stay or stopping by to see friends and family, knowing where to go and what to bring will help make your visit less stressful. To make your experience easier, we want to provide you with helpful information you may need to plan your visit, such as what to expect, parking instructions, transportation and more.
