Accompanying your loved one from a distance
We understand that it can be difficult to decide not to visit your loved one or accompany them to an appointment due to flu or cold symptoms. Fortunately, there are other ways to support your loved one from a distance.
At appointments
- As a patient, you can also involve your loved one by telephone during an appointment. It is always possible to call a partner, family member or friend and put them on speakerphone during your appointment. This way your loved one can listen in and also say something or ask a question.
- If you want, you can record the conversation on your cell phone so you can listen back to it together later.
- You can also ask your healthcare provider to make an audio recording of the conversation.
For admissions
- A tablet is available on each ward. If you do not have a cell phone or tablet yourself, you can use it to stay in touch with your loved ones. Our staff will be happy to help you.
