Piedmont Fayette Visitor Information
Care Partner Policy (Updated December 4, 2024)
Piedmont Fayette’s visiting hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., seven days a week.
Piedmont Fayette Hospital recommends two designated care partners at a time per patient. If a unit leader approves, one care partner can stay with the patient overnight.
If a patient is staying in a semi-private room, it is recommended that each patient only have a maximum of two visitors.
- It is also recommended that care partners under the age of 12 are not allowed at this time.
- Labor and Delivery allows three designated care partners at a time, 24/7.
- The Family Care Center and Antepartum Unit allow four designated care partners at a time, with one allowed to stay overnight. Siblings may visit those units during hospital-wide visitation hours.
- The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) allows two designated/banded infant guardians. Additional visitors can be allowed with authorization from guardians.
- The Obstetrical Emergency Department allows one care partner.
- The number of care partners allowed in a patient’s room is subject to change depending on their care needs. The focus has to be on the safety of our patients and staff.
No Patient Left Alone Act
During the 2024 legislative session, the Georgia General Assembly passed the No Patient Left Alone Act, which was signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp on May 6, 2024, and made effective on July 1, 2024. This legislation establishes visitation rights for individuals admitted to hospitals and long-term care facilities.

While we regret the inconvenience it may cause for some patients, safety is at the center of our organization, and we believe these steps are necessary to create the safest environment at our hospital.
