Father Martin’s Ashley Visitation PolicyIn developing the visitation policies of Ashley, the safety and needs of family members and our patient community were taken into consideration.
Visitation is on Sunday afternoon from 1:00 to 3:30 pm. Guests are limited to three family members or friends per week. Your patient’s counselor will ask for his/her list of visitors on Friday afternoon. Your name must be on the visitation list in order to participate in visitation. Visitation is not permitted the first week of treatment. Patients who have family members or friends participating in the Family Wellness Program are not permitted additional visitors that weekend.
Visitors should plan to arrive beginning at 12:30pm to register and sign the required confidentiality form. Registration is in Abraham Hall. Please leave personal items such as purses, back packs, cameras and cell phones in your vehicle; they are not permitted on the campus. If a package is brought for a patient, it must be checked in at Abraham Hall for inspection by the staff overseeing visitation. Visitors will not be permitted to bring additional items back to the facility after visitation has ended.
Ashley requires all visitors to participate in an educational presentation every Visitation Sunday beginning at 1:00 pm with visiting following at 2:00 pm. If visitors are not here for the educational session, they may not be able to visit that day.
There is a weekly commencement exercise every Sunday at 3:45pm for patients who will be completing their inpatient program within the week. Visitors are welcome to attend the commencement exercise. Those not attending commencement will be asked to leave the facility at 3:45pm.
Visiting areas include Abraham Hall, Dahl Courtyard, Noble Hall Dining Room and the adjacent Sizer Room only. The Chapel is open for quiet meditation and reflection for both community members and visitors. All visitors to the Chapel are asked to be mindful of this and to engage in conversations elsewhere. When weather permits, the lawn area behind Noble Hall and the two gazebos on either side of the Chapel are also available. Visitors may only smoke in the smoking gazebo by Abraham Hall. All other areas of the campus are not available for visitation.
Patients are not allowed to go off premises, into the parking lots, down by the water or into the woods with visitors.
Visitors are asked to leave Ashley promptly when visiting hours are over. Patients may not accompany family members to the parking areas.
Please Note: family/friends are not permitted at Ashley if they are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If visitors arrive under the influence, they will be asked to leave, or arrangements may be made to have someone pick them up.
