Visiting Hours Daily 1 p.m.-8:30 p.m. We ask that the family members and friends of our patients observe the daily visiting hours, which are 1 p.m.-8:30 p.m. If for some reason additional hours are required, requests can be made to the nurse manager and the treating team. Religious Services Our staff chaplain conducts interfaith worship services on the second and fourth Sundays of the month at 11 a.m. in Roncari Hall. Pastoral/Spiritual Support Your priest, minister or rabbi is encouraged to visit. You should notify him or her of your stay at Gaylord. The Gaylord chaplain is available for counseling and support. The chaplain also will make arrangements if you wish to speak with a member of the clergy from your faith. Notify the unit secretary or call the chaplain's office at extension 3345. Quiet Room For a place to reflect, meditate, pray or just be alone, the Quiet Room is available 24 hours a day to family members and patients. It is located on the Hooker ground floor. Guest House The Crockett House is a two-bedroom guesthouse available at a nominal fee for the out-of-town family members of our patients. It is not equipped for patient use.

Patients—or family members of current patients--interested in booking the Crockett House for their family members should call extension 2843.
