Visiting the Hospital

We want you to feel like family when you are here by offering you and your visitors some of the comforts of home.

Patient Rooms

Patient Rooms in Wentworth-Douglass Hospital’s Garrison Wings offers generously sized, comfortable spaces to help you feel at home. Most rooms offer sleeper sofas for family members who wish to stay overnight. If your room does not have one, please ask and we will make one available.

Visiting Hours and Quiet Time

Your friends and family may visit you whenever you please with our flexible visiting hours. 

Because new moms and babies need their rest, we do ask that visitors to the Birth Center be limited to immediate family and/or the mother’s support person during our afternoon quiet time from 1:00 – 3:00. All visitors to the Birth Center need to check-in at the Center’s front desk.

The Main Entrance, South Entrance and Garrison Wing Entrance are open from 5:30 a.m.  – 9:00 p.m. Patients or visitors arriving after 9:00 p.m. should enter through the Emergency Department entrance, which is open 24-hours per day. Use the phone on thewall to call security to enter the hospital. 

* Please note: Wentworth-Douglass Hospital is a latex-free environment. Please do not bring rubber balloons to the hospital. Mylar (foil) balloons are OK.
