Anne's Law
The regulations about care home visiting that are commonly known as Anne’s Law will come into force on Tuesday 31 March 2026. These regulations strengthen the rights of people living in adult and older people’s care homes to maintain contact with those who are important to them. They do this by introducing duties for care home providers in relation to visiting arrangements, identification of Essential Care Supporters, and transparency where visiting is restricted for any reason.
This is something we have been doing for a few years here at Elder Homes, however we wanted to ensure you had the link to read this yourself see below as well as assurance that we are already following this important regulation.
There is a paper copy in each unit and the unit managers will be happy to answer any questions you have.
