A Bedside Notary at Kaiser's South Sacramento Hospital
Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento Medical Center sits on Bruceville Road just off Highway 99, at the south end of the city and a short drive from Elk Grove. It is a full campus rather than a single building: the hospital and its North and South towers, four medical office buildings, an outpatient surgery center, and the D.B. Moore and Wyndham buildings, all wrapped by Bruceville Road, Bamford Drive and Wyndham Drive. Most patients here are Kaiser members, but the paperwork that comes up during a stay is the same as at any hospital: a durable power of attorney that has to be signed before a procedure, or an advance healthcare directive a family wants in place while their loved one can still speak for themselves.
You do not have to be a Kaiser member, and you do not need a referral or sign-off from the hospital, to bring in an outside notary. We are independent. The patient or any family member can call us directly and we will come to the room, whether that is a medical floor, the ICU, Labor & Delivery, or a quieter spot off the lobby when the bedside is not the right place for it.
If you are looking for Kaiser's other Sacramento-area hospital, that is the Morse Avenue medical center in Arden-Arcade, and it has its own page. Same fee either way; just tell us which campus when you call.
Getting there
Parking & Getting to the Room
The main hospital entrance is under the covered drop-off, with the blue HOSPITAL sign and visitor lots right in front of it. Parking is surface lots spread around the campus rather than one structure, and the map posted on site marks member parking separately from physician and employee parking, so it is worth a quick look before you circle. The Emergency Department has its own entrance on the Bruceville Road side, with a security check point at the door; if your family member came in that way, aim for the red EMERGENCY canopy rather than the main doors.
The map pictured here is posted on the campus and covers the whole site: the hospital itself, the Hospital South Tower, the four medical office buildings, outpatient surgery services, and the D.B. Moore and Wyndham buildings out toward Valley Drive. You do not need to clear our visit with the hospital ahead of time, but the number of visitors allowed at the bedside changes from unit to unit. If your loved one is in the ICU, a quick call to the nurses' station first can save everyone a trip.
Finding the room
North Tower or South Tower: Which One Is Yours?
This is the one thing that trips families up here, and it is worth sorting out before you call. The campus has two towers, and the patient rooms are in the North Tower. Its directory, pictured here, lays the whole building out: rooms 201 to 236 on the second floor, 301 to 336 on the third, and 401 to 435 on the fourth. Labor & Delivery is in rooms 201 to 218 and the Mother/Baby rooms are 219 to 236, both on the second floor.
The first floor holds the Emergency Department, the hospital lobby, the laboratory, radiology and the surgery waiting area. Administration, social services and the cafeteria are downstairs on the ground floor, which is where families often end up waiting. Any of those work for a signing if the bedside is not the right place for it.
When you call, the room number alone usually tells us everything we need. A three-digit room in the 200s, 300s or 400s means the North Tower, and we will head straight there. The signage throughout the hospital is in English and Spanish, which helps if you are guiding a relative in by phone.
Before the visit
What the Patient Will Need
The person signing needs a government-issued photo ID that is either current or was issued within the last five years. A California driver's license or ID card is the usual one; a U.S. or foreign passport and a military ID work just as well. If the wallet went missing somewhere between the Emergency Department and the room upstairs, California law lets us establish identity a second way: credible witnesses who personally know the patient and bring their own ID. A wallet that is safe at home does not qualify — someone needs to bring the ID in.
The patient also has to be awake, aware of what they're signing, and able to say in their own words that they want to sign it. Sedation is the usual sticking point, and we can't notarize for someone who is unable to communicate. If you're not sure whether your situation clears that bar, call and describe it — you'll get a straight answer before anyone makes the drive out to Bruceville Road.
You can read the full ID and witness rules for hospital signings on our hospital notary page, including what happens when the patient has no ID with them.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a notary cost at Kaiser South Sacramento?
Our hospital travel fee is $65, plus $15 per notarized signature, the California state-regulated maximum. For example, a single durable power of attorney with one signature comes to $80 total. Call us and we'll confirm the total before we come out. We take cash, credit card, Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App.
Is this the same as Kaiser's Morse Avenue hospital in Sacramento?
No. These are two separate hospitals. This page is the South Sacramento medical center at 6600 Bruceville Road, off Highway 99 in the south end of the city. Kaiser's other Sacramento-area hospital sits on Morse Avenue in Arden-Arcade and has its own page. The hospital travel fee is $65 at either one. Tell us the campus when you call and we will route the visit to the right building.
Does Kaiser provide notary services for patients at South Sacramento?
Generally, no. Kaiser's on-site notary support, where it is available at all, is usually limited to scheduled advance healthcare directive appointments. It is not a walk-in option for a power of attorney, a trust document, or other personal legal paperwork, and it is not something you can typically arrange from the bedside. Our notaries are independent of Kaiser Permanente and come directly to the patient's room, often the same day. Call or text (916) 222-2251.
Which units at Kaiser South Sacramento do you visit?
Any of them. The hospital's own North Tower directory lists patient rooms on three floors: 201 to 236 on the second, 301 to 336 on the third, and 401 to 435 on the fourth, with Labor and Delivery in rooms 201 to 218 and Mother/Baby rooms in 219 to 236. Tell us the tower, floor and room number when you call.
How quickly can you get a notary to Kaiser South Sacramento?
Same-day service is often available. The campus sits right off Highway 99 on Bruceville Road, which makes it a quick run from most of our coverage area, including Elk Grove and the Pocket. Call or text (916) 222-2251 and we'll give you an honest arrival window for your situation rather than a vague promise.
Do you come to the ER at Kaiser South Sacramento?
Yes. The Emergency Department here has its own entrance and its own lot on the Bruceville Road side, with a security check point at the door, so tell us you are in the ER and not just the hospital name. Our notary will come to the right door instead of the main lobby. The usual reason for the call is a power of attorney or a healthcare directive that needs signing before the patient is admitted. Two honest warnings. An ER visit can be interrupted at any moment by imaging, by a bed opening upstairs, or by pain medication. And if sedation has left the patient unable to understand what they are signing, no California notary may proceed, because they can no longer knowingly agree to it.
What if the patient doesn't have a photo ID?
California law requires us to confirm the signer's identity, but a missing ID isn't necessarily a dealbreaker. If the patient's ID was lost, stolen, or never issued, credible witnesses who personally know them can establish identity instead. If the ID exists and is simply at home, California law does not allow that route — someone needs to bring it in. Call us and we'll walk through the options for your situation.
Where do visitors park at Kaiser South Sacramento?
This is a multi-building campus rather than a single tower, and the map posted on site marks member parking separately from physician and employee parking. The Emergency Department has its own entrance on the Bruceville Road side with a security check point at the door. Tell us which building the patient is in and we'll come to the right one.
Are you available evenings and weekends at Kaiser South Sacramento?
Yes. Hospital situations rarely happen at a convenient hour. Our team is available 7 days a week, 8am to 10pm. Call or text (916) 222-2251 to confirm availability for the time you need.
