Visiting

Each unit has its own schedule which includes visitation hours. Scheduled hours are assigned either on Saturday or Sunday. In addition, you may request to schedule an in person visit during your family session. For families who live out of state or out of the country, you may also stay connected to your loved one through FaceTime, Skype or through the phone.

As an alternative for families who are out of state or out of country, we are providing our young people with access to devices so that they can facetime with their family during visiting hours.

    Who can come to visit?

    • Family and friends of our clients can visit during regularly scheduled visiting times or by appointment arranged with their assigned Social Worker. Private visitation can be arranged for young children by speaking with the client’s physician or social worker. Our clients have the right to receive visitors of their own choosing daily, and in private, at reasonable times.  This includes their personal doctor, social worker, psychologist, lawyer or clergy.
