visitation policy

Visitor access guidelines

A visitation policy is a set of rules governing when and how visitors may access a place—typically hospitals, prisons, nursing homes, or custody arrangements.

These policies specify permitted hours, approved visitors, and conditions of visits: The hospital's visitation policy limits guests to two per patient.

In family law, a visitation policy outlines a noncustodial parent's rights to spend time with their child.
