To provide a quieter, more comfortable place for patients. Southeastern General Hospital will change its visiting hours beginningJuneb, 1977. Hospital President. Donald C. Hi.scott has announced an incrca.se in visiting hours with general visiting to be observed continuously from 2 p.m. until 8:.3() p.m. Special Maternity Ward hours for fathers and grandparents will be from 2 p.m. until .‘1:30 p.m. and from 6:30 p.m. until 8:.30 p.m. In addition, visitors will be limited to two per patient, and will be required to wear passes at all times. These passes will indicate the category of visitor and, in some cases, the length of stay. Two general passes will be issued per patient and will be returned to the Information Desk as visitors leave so that others can visit. As has been the policy, children under 12 will not be allowed to visit. Elevators will be monitored by Visitor Controllers who will check passes. Special visiting circumstances, such as day of surgery, or critically ill patients, are provided and will be announced later. During the next several weeks, a series of articles in this paper will attempt to explain the reasons for the new policy; how it was formulated; exactly how it will work; and how the public can become better visitors. It is hoped that through these articles the public can be made aware of the problems faced by a hospital when coping with the thousands of people who come to visit friends and relatives. According to J.L. Welsh, Jr., vice-president, administration, the hospitalstaffhas long realized the need for a new visiting policy. Southeastern General Hospital serves a wide area in Southeastern North Carolina. There are approximately 240 beds in the general hospital with an average of 200 of these beds occupied at any given time. As one nurse said, “ multiply 200 by two visitors and you get 400 visitors. And most patients have a lot more than two; sometimes five or six at a time.” Visitor proDlciiis lacco i>> iiic stalf include noise; crowded rooms, halls and elevators; lack of concern for patients: interference with treatment or therapy; and cleaning up after visitors have left. The administration wants it made clear that they believe visiting is very important, "The patient needs the contact with visitors,” explained Hiscott. “However, people need to realize that visiting is a privilege, not a right.” The first consideration must be the well-being of the patient. “Administrators are-people too. We have even been patients. We understand that visitors want to show their concern. On the other hand, we have to be concerned about the care of patients who sometimes have no control over who visits them." In July, 1976, after many complaints about visiting had reached the administration, Hiscott appointed a committee to study the problems and seek a solution. This committee, chaired by Welsh, was made up of doctors, nurses, the personnel- security director, the Chaplain, and the patient representative. Over the past months a great deal of time and study went into creating the new policy. Surveys were made of visitors, patients, nurses, doctors, hospital department heads and other hospitals. After a plan was agreed on bv the committee, it was presented to the hospital Board of Trustees and was approved. On Monday, June 6, the staff of the hospital will be ready to receive visitors under the new policy. Its hoped that the public will be ready to be thoughtful and caring visitors. “We really believe most people will cooperate fully with us. We anticipate no real problems,” said Hiscott. The administration hopes that by making the public aware of the new policies ahead of time, confusion and misunderstandings can be avoided. Susan H.

Lockett Poses at Office Door ‘We Are Finding a Lot of Demand for the Service' Home Watching Service Begun By Jerry Lazarus Everymoming,a41'year'Old Church HI]] womanlet vet her home on 23rd Street, takes a bus to a tall downtown building and stations herself inside an apartment there. Her principal job for the next eight to 10 hours is toguard the place while the owner is away. The woman has other duties and neither the apartment owner nor the woman would allow names to be used. BUT THE work represents the liFSt sueeessful effort by a small Richmond employment agency iq begin a newhomeser* vice — home watching. “This is new. We don't have much history, but we are finding a lot of demand for the service," said James A. Lockett, 64, owner of Human Emergency Labor Personel Service at 207 N. Third St. Already a half-dozen homeowners in Richmond who are go ing on vacatioTi have requested (he service while they are away. The logic seems Impeccable. Going awpy op businaaa or vacation means an yntended home. Fires, burglary and van dalism become worries. Going away also means that new spapers must be stopped, mall diverted, pets boarded and neighbors alerted. “What we will provide is someone who will stop by the house 8 couple of times a day. They’ll take in mail, let pets out and feed them, waterplantsandgenerallyglvethebousealiyed-in look. We'll even get someone to mow the lawn." Lockett said. THE CHARGE (or the aervlce Is $10 a day. plus $2.50 for mowing the lawn. Lockett said that someone can be provided to 11 ve In the house while the owners are away for $125 a week. Finding people to doitbe work hasn't been difficult either, said Mrs. Viola Coleman, Lockett’s partner in the employ ment service. “Wrhavei retired i»wyer. a fnlnister, apsychotogist vida list of other rtilablap^le who want to workparHime. Thay are ail bonded,” ehe seld. Mrs. Coleman paid the idea for tht sarvlea germinated a month ago when a woman called thtofftceasklngfor someone who wouldcome toherbomeand stay Inltwbilesne was away. ”WE THOUGHT about it and the more we thought about it. the better the idea seamed.” Lockett said. He said that the winter season probably would produce the most demand for the service. Affluent people, he said, would probably make more use of home watching. He said that already some people who spend the winter in Florida have called to make preliminary arrangements. Home watching Is an apt sideline for the employment ser vice, which specializes in finding people to work in homes as maids, companions, nurses’ aides and yard workers. The service’s principal competition comes from the Virginia Employment Commission, which runs a free ser vice. Lockett said he and Mrs. Coleman started the employment service about nine years ago “because we thought there was a demand.” He is a real estate agent, principally involved in renting a dozen homes that he owns, and leaves most of the daily j, operations to Mrs. Coleman.
