As I understand it, the "one nominated visitor" is not set in stone in legislation.

Changing who the visitor is, is ultimately, at the discretion of the care home.

I can't remember where I read it, but I did.

So if they are allowing say one weekly visit, that can be person A one week and person B the next.

It is important that the single named visitor remains the same person as far as possible. This is important in reducing the risk of transmission, by limiting the number of different people coming into the care home from the community. However, we recognise that there will be situations in which a named visitor cannot continue to visit (for example because of illness). We advise care homes and families to take a pragmatic approach, with the aim of minimising change wherever possible.

Thanks sheramber, that's the bit I'd read.
