Olaide WaheedLife Knysna Private Hospital Visiting Hours have been arranged to maintain a balance between the need for patients to receive top quality medical care, and the need for them to receive love and encouragement from those closest to them.
The kind of treatment the individual patient is receiving at the hospital will of course determine how freely they can receive visits. The hospital performs complex surgical procedures, and maintains a 24 hour accident emergency care unit. The hospital performs a great role to the community, as well as the greater area.
As a result of the hospital’s important status, and the need to keep the patients and medical staff safe, the hospital has scheduled visits this way.

How To Go About Your Visit
The first thing to do is to make sure you have the correct name of the patient you want to visit. The correct name is the real name, as used in official documents.
Then you need to know why the person is at the hospital.
Then you need to contact the hospital; call them on the phone, and tell them the person you want to visit, and the reason they are at the hospital. The hospital staff will then confirm an appropriate visiting time for you.
You may need to get directions to the hospital. The address is: Hunters Estate Drive, Hunters Home, Knysna, 6570, South Africa.
At the correct time given, arrive at the hospital, and go to the front desk. Tell them who you want to visit, and tell them that you have previously obtained permission to visit at this time.
The hospital staff will then give you directions to the ward, as well as instructions and guidelines.
Guidelines For Visitors
You will receive guidelines at the hospital, but the following are the usually obtainable instructions at Life Healthcare hospitals.
The hospital may require you to sanitize your hands and wear nose masks before gaining entry into the wards.
The hospital may require you to have a recent negative test for covid-19 before entering the wards.
The hospital may not allow children below the age of 12 to enter the wards.
The hospital generally restricts the number of visitors to 2 persons per visit at any given time.
Food and drinks are not allowed in the hospital.
Please set mobile phones to silent or vibrate, and please do not disturb others in the wards or rooms with your calls.
What To Bring To The Hospital?
There are several items you can bring along with you to the hospital in order to help make your loved one’s stay more convenient.
Toiletries: items like soap, body creams, toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, hair brushes and sanitary pads, are great because they can help make the hospital stay more tolerable for the patient, and can also go a long way to show the patient that you love them and remember their needs.
Comfortable clothes: clothes that are easy to wear and to take off will also help make the patient comfortable. As a general rule the shirts should have their buttons in the front. Sometimes, it may also be better to provide shirts that have no buttons at all. The shirts should be good for long hours of wear, and should not cause any discomfort.
Pants (trousers) should also follow the same rule; they should be easy to wear and easy to take off. That means they should not have any complications like zippers, buttons, ropes, or belts. They can be held by simple rubber bands.
Comfortable footwear: the footwear should be easy to wear and take off; that means it should not have complications like laces or buckles. Velcro straps are okay if they are easy to work. The footwear should not cause any pain or discomfort after long hours of wear. Rubber is the preferred material when it comes to footwear.
Please note that clothes will need to be brought on a regular basis because the hospital may not be responsible for laundry.
Comfort items: flowers, cards, books, photo albums, and things like that can go a long way to make the patient feel better, and to make a quick recovery. Flowers can make a person happy; something about them brings joy. They also add a dash of colour to a hospital bedside. All these things can help the patient feel more comfortable, can help them pass the time, and can help them remember that they have people who love them.
