Visiting Hours and Arrival Rules for Fulton Reception and Diagnostic Center (FRDC)
Visiting at FRDC is straightforward once you know the schedule and arrival rules. Here are the exact visiting hours plus the timing, parking, and entry details that can make or break your visit.
Before you make the drive, confirm two things: that your loved one is actually housed at Fulton Reception and Diagnostic Center (FRDC), and that you're approved to visit. FRDC requires visitors to be pre-approved through a visiting application, which includes a criminal history check. The posted visiting hours won't help if your approval isn't in place yet.
FRDC visiting hours are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 9:30am to 1:30pm.
An afternoon/evening session runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 2:30pm to 6:30pm.
Arrival Parking Entry Rules
- ✓ Arrive in the FRDC parking lot no earlier than 30 minutes before visiting starts.
Entry is first-come, first-served once visitors are allowed in from the parking lot. If you're aiming for a specific session, time your arrival accordingly - being ready when entry starts helps you avoid unnecessary waits.
Warning: No person or pet may remain in a vehicle on institutional grounds at FRDC.
Even with the posted hours in hand, don't skip a final check before you travel. Your ability to visit still depends on being pre-approved through the visiting application process (including the criminal history check). Confirm your status and any current restrictions before heading out.
