What is a resident's right regarding visitors?

Residents of Adult Residential Facilities have the right to receive visitors at reasonable times and in private. This right is rooted in the respect for residents’ personal relationships and the need for social interaction, which can significantly contribute to their overall well-being. Allowing visits in private respects the resident's dignity and fosters a comfortable environment for personal communication.

While providing the right to receive visitors at reasonable times, it still allows facilities to set some boundaries to ensure that the visitor activity does not disrupt the community or pose risks to safety or privacy for all residents. This balance helps to promote a respectful and hospitable living atmosphere within the facility.
