This bill proposes to amend the Social Security Act to ensure residents of skilled nursing facilities have unrestricted visitation rights. It specifically targets facilities participating in the Medicare (Title XVIII) and Medicaid (Title XIX) programs, aiming to enhance resident well-being through personal connections. The legislation mandates that these facilities must permit immediate access to a resident by at least one individual designated by that resident. While residents retain the right to deny or withdraw consent for visitation at any time, the bill explicitly states that such access shall not be subject to any other restriction or limitation, thereby safeguarding continuous and unimpeded visitation for designated individuals.
