Care home visiting and Anne’s Law
There are new rules on care home visiting. These rules are known as Anne’s Law.
As part of these rules, care homes must allow and support visiting unless there is a serious risk to life, health or wellbeing. Even then, care homes must still support visiting for those nearing the end of their life or when stopping visits would cause greater harm than the risks involved.
