As we are moving away from the days of Covid, more loved ones are coming back into the institution. It is imperative when making a reservation to arrive at the time scheduled. For example, if an appointment is made at 12:15pm but the visitor doesn't arrive until 1:15pm, that is an entire hour that someone else wasn't able to visit. Moving forward, visitors will need to check in no later than 15 minutes after their appointment time. If a visitor has not arrived within that time frame the space will be opened for walk-ins.  The visiting desk will process those with scheduled appointments first. This will go into effect December 11, 2022.
