Holidays in the Hospital: A Visiting Guide


The Christmas holidays can be the best time of the year for most but for those unable to spend it outside of the hospital it can be a sad, lonely, and frustrating time of the year. If you find that a loved one is stuck in the hospital this year, be sure to go the extra mile to make their holidays a bit better.

There are a few simple, easy things you can do to bring Christmas cheer to the hospital room. While it isn’t always possible to set up decorations, your presence or a thoughtful phone call is often enough to lift someone’s spirits. Take a look at these tips for visiting the hospital during the holiday season:

·       Stagger the Visits - No one person should be the visitor; everyone that is available should visit at separate times so the person that is in the hospital feels wanted. By staggering the visits, everyone has a chance to socialize with the patient and the patient is not overwhelmed with too many people.
·       Bring Festive Food – If it is ok with the attending doctor, bring food that reminds the patient of the season. Sometimes even setting a bowl of festively wrapped candy in the room for those in medical scrubs to munch on can bring a bit of pizzazz to bland walls.
·       Deck the Halls - Who says you can’t decorate the hospital room like you would at home? Ask the person what they think of the idea and what kind of decorations they want. There is no reason why it can’t be fun for them too! Just be sure that the hospital staff approves the décor you put up.
·       Use Technology Available - If there’s a chance you can’t come to the hospital, set up some form web-chat. A phone call is always a good choice as well.
·       Never Overdo It - Never overwhelm the loved one. Visitors are great but you don’t want to crowd him or her with a room full of visitors or a large string of visiting friends. Make sure there is some down time for the patient to get some breathing room.

As either a nurse, doctor, or even a former patient, what are some suggestions you have for those visiting loved ones in the hospital this season?
