Visitation Guidance

Under the current guidance, indoor visitation is allowed at all times for all residents, without limiting the frequency and length of visits for residents or the number of visitors or requiring advance scheduling of visits.  Visitation is permitted even when the facility is in outbreak status and for residents who are in isolation or in quarantine.

Appointments for visits are not required and visitors may self-screen

We do not require appointments for visits.  Visitors will be required to self-screen prior to entering.  Nursing Home visitors may enter door A on Jackson Street and McCornell Court visitors may enter Door E on McCornell Avenue seven days a week between the hours of 8:00am to 8:00pm.

Masks Required During Visits and Visits Must take Place in Resident Rooms

Although the state of MN has lifted the mask mandates, masks are still required to be worn at all times while visiting residents at St. William’s Living Center and McCornell Court.  Visits must take place in resident rooms.  Additional guidance is posted at the screening station near the entrances.
