Q: Can a nursing home restrict who visits the residents and when?

A: Nursing homes can set what would commonly be known as reasonable "visiting hours" to help establish routines and smooth operations of the facility in the best interest of their residents. The resident can indicated the desire to allow or not allow visits from family members and others, and reserves the right to change consent at any time. Visits by medical personnel such as the resident's general physician or any state or local representative must be allowed at any time.
