Butler Hospital Visitation Restrictions

As of Monday, December 22^nd, 2025, masks will be required at all times in our hospitals and within any medical building where patients may be present. Staff, vendors, and visitors are required to mask. Patients and clients will be asked to mask as they are able.

Delmonico Building units D4, D2 (Kent Unit) and Adolescent Unit, Riverview Units R2 and R3 and Lippitt Unit L1 and L2:

• Visiting hours will be in the evenings for 2 sessions 5:00 pm-5:45 pm and 5:45 pm-6:30 pm.
• All visits will be scheduled, no walk ins.
• Visits are arranged by the patient and a member of the treatment team—there is a signup sheet so that the total number of visitors per visiting hour can be monitored.
• Each unit will allow 2-4 scheduled visitors per time block.
• Prior to the beginning of visiting hours, the security staff at the front desk calls the units and gets the list for the day.
• If a visitor shows up who is not expected, Security will call the unit to ask if they can be permitted to go up and the visitor may be denied if there are already visitors scheduled or if the patient is not in agreement with the visit.
• All visitors will be screened by Security (includes canine screening), have their bags and coats stored securely, and provided with a visitor badge in the Visitor Registration Center 

Delmonico 3: no visiting hours

Inpatient Assessment Center: Patients coming in for evaluation may have one support person accompany them. However, visitors may be asked to wait in a separate area until they can meet with the clinical team based on space limitation.
