Visitors

It is the client’s responsibility to completed the visitation application in order for family and friends to come visit; however, to make the process go faster and a bit easier, here are some of the information a client would need:

1. First and Last name(s) of the visitor(s)
2. Date of birth(s)
3. Issued state ID number(s); if you get approved, we will need a copy of your photo ID when you first get to Hilltop House.
4. List of criminal record(s), if any?

Only a client’s case manager may approve a visitor and/or visitors. It usually takes up to about a week or less to get visitor(s) approved. All visits must be pre-arranged and approved by a client’s case manager prior to visitations on-ground. If you come up to Hilltop House after-hours or on a weekend, and you are not approved, your visit will be denied. You must have proper identification when visiting; if you do not have a photo ID, you will be turned away.

Visitors who are less than 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult and visitation must be pre-arranged with the client’s case manager due to these visits being arranged so that it may be held in a conference room. These visits are also held only on the weekdays (Monday through Friday) excluding weekends and holidays.

Hilltop House encourages family and friends to visit during a loved one’s stay. General visiting hours are from:

9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Each client is allowed no more than 2 visitors at a time; and you are allowed to visit no more than 2 hours per day.

You will be required to sign in upon arrival and to sign out prior to leaving at the front desk. Each visitor will be issued a visitation badge which must be visible at all times, and it must be worn for the duration of the visit.
