Information for Visitors

Cygnet Hospital Kewstoke

Cygnet Hospital Kewstoke does not have specific visiting times, but we do ask that visits are pre-arranged with the ward (24 hours notice is normally required) and that visits take place outside of 9am to 5pm therapy sessions if possible.

Anyone under the age of 18 will not be allowed onto any of the wards, however an off-ward visitor’s room can be provided to facilitate family visits.

The hospital operates a no smoking policy and visitors are therefore asked not to smoke on the ward or anywhere within the building or grounds of the hospital.

What to expect on arrival

On arrival visitors should report to reception where they will be asked to sign in and given a security badge. This ensures that we have an accurate record of who is in the premises at all times. A member of staff will collect you from reception and take you to your meeting or visit. A lift is available for those with a disability or mobility restrictions.

On ward visits are allocated to one specific area of the ward and visitors are not allowed to enter a patient’s room without permission from a member of staff.
