To avoid overwhelming the patient and to allow our staff to safely perform patient care, Chester County Hospital has set the following Visitor Guidelines for the Critical Care Unit (CCU):
- Only two visitors at a time.
- No children under the age of 13 are permitted in the CCU. This is for their protection and for the protection of our patients. Age restriction is subject to change.
- Please do not bring food and drink into the patient's room as a courtesy to our patients who cannot eat.
- Chester County Hospital is a smoke-free campus. Please refrain from smoking on the hospital campus or related properties.
- Flowers and latex balloons are not allowed in the CCU to prevent allergic reactions.
- Please do not use cell phones and pagers while in the CCU to avoid disrupting patient care.
To protect our patients' privacy and respect their dignity, the CCU is a LOCKED unit. To request access to the CCU, please use the hospital phone in the waiting room outside the unit and then follow the directions posted above the phone. Once permitted to come in, please stand at least 10 feet away from the doors. (The doors will not open if standing too close.) Please refrain from pulling and knocking on the doors.
