AFAIK, next of kin do not control who a person has to visit.With love, POSR0

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.Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill1 -

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.1
