Visiting
While we wish to encourage an ‘open-door’ policy of visiting, we do ask that in the interest of Health and Safety and smooth delivery of services that friends and family refrain from visiting during mealtimes- specifically 12-1 pm and 4-5 pm. The wishes of each Resident regarding receiving visitors will be respected and will be monitored by the Nurse in charge. Children are always welcome in the Nursing Home but we ask that they are supervised by an accompanying adult.

Personal Items
We strongly recommend Residents who are planning to stay for longer periods of time, to personalise their rooms. Any favourite ornaments, pictures, photographs, radio, etc would be ideal for this and we certainly arrange to have pictures, plates etc put up on the wall if required.

Your Doctor
Your family doctor will continue to care for you, visiting you in the Home as necessary. If you have moved outside your doctor’s area it may be necessary for you to register with another doctor. If this is necessary, we will discuss the matter fully with you and/or your family.

Valuables
We encourage you to send money and valuables home where possible. We do not encourage our Residents to keep money or valuables on their person. If you wish to keep your money or valuables in your room, then a safe, lockable space can be provided but Padre Pio Nursing Home cannot accept responsibility for these items.
