(b)The facility director, or designee, has the authority to limit such a visit to less than one hour or to terminate such visit if in his or her opinion the safety, security or welfare of the resident, staff, or any member of the public is at risk.
(c)If a determination is made by the attending physician or other health services staff that a deathbed visit would jeopardize the health of the ill family member or the resident, or if hospital regulations restrict the length of the visit, such visit may be denied or modified as so recommended or required.
