Patients 70 Years and Older

  • Please be advised that medical patients, (not surgical) who are 70 years and over, or who are in a diminished mental state must be admitted to a private room and accompanied by a relative at all times.

  • Should a relative not able to stay with the patient, a nurse will be placed with them at an additional cost.

  • If a patient’s mental capacity diminishes while warded in a shared room, they will be admitted to a private room at an additional cost.

  • This is a best effort to ensure the safety of all patients at Medical Associates Hospital.
