Bedrooms
Each bedroom has a double-sized
bed for the mother, a baby cot, and daybed with an ensuite bathroom. The rooms have capacity to put clothing and a
safe for personal belongings.
Common areas
You and your loved
ones are welcome to
use the common areas of the unit.
There may be times when some common areas are
being used for meetings or groups but there are other spaces where you can have
some quiet time.
Meals
Partners and
support people can access breakfast, lunch and an evening meal in the family
dining space. Dietary requirements may not be catered for.
There are also local
cafes and a supermarket on Darcy Road within a short walking distance of the
unit. Please ask staff if you require directions.
Overnight stays
One support person
can stay overnight: this support person must be over 18 years old.
If the support
person is unwell, they must not visit or stay, especially if experiencing
flu-like symptoms or within three days of having diarrhea or vomiting.
Partners would be
expected to come and go from the unit at reasonable hours (8am to 8pm) to avoid disruption
to the women and infants.
For safety reasons, there are some items that can not
be taken onto the unit (for example, sharp objects, tobacco and alcohol) please
speak to staff if you have any questions around this.
Visiting hours
Day visitors will be able to access the
unit between 0800 and 2000 hours dependent upon the daily ward programs,
therapeutic sessions, and activities and/or as negotiated with the clinical
team during care planning.
Family members including the children of patients and carers are to be
encouraged to have supervised visits.
Fire safety and
security
You will receive a
formal orientation to the unit on your arrival. All visitors will be asked to
sign the visitor register each time they enter and leave the unit.
This is a
fire safety requirement to ensure it is known how many people are always in the
facility.
Appropriate dress
Visitors must be
fully and appropriately dressed at all times.
Photos and videos
NSW Health does not
allow photos or video footage within a health setting, with a mobile phone or
other recording device. This is to protect the privacy of other individuals in
the unit. For more information about privacy in hospitals, please see our
staff.
