Droit de visite des familles et des proches dans les établissements de santé et les EHPAD

This French National Assembly bill (proposition de loi ordinaire) concerns the right of families and close relatives to visit people staying in healthcare establishments and EHPAD nursing homes for dependent elderly residents. The text, as indicated by its title, seeks to define or secure visiting rights for loved ones, a topic that became especially sensitive during restrictions on visits in recent years. The summary is based on metadata only and not on the full legislative text. The bill would mainly affect residents of hospitals, clinics and EHPAD nursing homes, their families and friends, and the staff and managers of these facilities who organise visits. The precise obligations and exceptions would need to be checked in the full text.
