Visiting a Patient

Visiting hours are 12 noon to 8 pm. Patients at the New England Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center maintain a rigorous schedule of individualized and group therapy sessions throughout the day. Visitors are encouraged to be aware of the demands placed on patients during their stay and try to plan visits around patient therapy schedules.

Because the goal of rehabilitation is to prepare patients to return to their home environment, we encourage patients to dress in their clothes rather than hospital clothing. If available, patients should ask family or friends to bring their clothing, grooming and hygiene items from home.
