    neither do I - there is no "next of kin" anyway
  • AFAIK, next of kin do not control who a person has to visit.

    Next of kin has no legal standing -  hospitals and care homes like the term so they have a contact number for "when"

    Ring the care home and see what the best time is to see you granddad.

    It is possible that the care home only allow 1 family member to visit, which in your case would be your aunt. But why she cound't tell you that I don't know.

    My aunt is in a care home and only one of her sisters is allowed to visit, though he has 2 further sisters who could visit.
    My dad is in a private hospital, and they only 1 visitor per day, preferably the same one every time.

    No it all down to my aunty. Because I call up Frist to see if he was in that care homer  they z yes  could you like to me a appointment. so I asked if I could phone back . To speak to my sister . To make a appointment to go and see him when I did they ask for my phone number and if they should speak to there boss . After 30 minutes they call me back and z no is allowed to see him because he get confused
