Randy Susen Visitation Rights Act of 2025

This bill requires skilled nursing facilities participating in Medicare and Medicaid to permit immediate visitation by any individual designated by a resident, with no restrictions beyond the resident's right to revoke consent at any time. It directly affects nursing home residents (who gain greater control over visitor access) and the facilities themselves (which must comply with this new rule). The key provision adds a specific requirement to both Medicare and Medicaid regulations, mandating that facilities allow access to at least one designated visitor without any additional limitations. The law does not impose new costs or alter facility operations beyond this visitation standard.
