A resident wants to receive visitors at any time. What is the facility's obligation regarding this right?

Question

Accepted Answer

The facility must allow reasonable visiting hours while respecting other residents' rights and care schedules. Residents have the right to receive visitors, but facilities can establish reasonable visiting hour policies to accommodate care schedules and respect other residents' needs. The facility cannot completely prohibit visitors or be unreasonably restrictive. Both family and friends should generally be welcomed.
