Visitor Information

Family members and friends may visit patients in inpatient and residential treatment programs at McLean Hospital, with permission of the patient and within program policies.

Before visiting, friends and families may find it useful to review our Guides to Care which contain helpful information for patients, families, and friends.

Visiting Hours

Visiting a family member or friend who is a patient in an inpatient or residential program at a psychiatric hospital is different from acute care hospital settings where visiting hours are more flexible.

A patient, together with his or her clinical treatment team, decides on the nature and frequency of visits. The decision is made based on what is best for the patient and his or her recovery.

Visiting hours and policies for our inpatient and residential programs vary by program. More information on visiting hours can be found in the FAQ section of each program’s webpage.

Visitors may also find it helpful to understand more about patient privacy before visiting with their loved one.

With any specific visiting questions, please contact the patient’s treatment program.
