Care home residents win right to always have one visitor





People living in care homes have secured the right to have visits from a loved one - even in a Covid outbreak.

Some families still do not have regular contact with their relatives in care homes more than two years after the start of the pandemic.

This will now change after the Scottish government put the proposed "Anne's law" into national standards.

Residents will now be allowed a named visitor into the care home even when restrictions are in place.

These changes should mean the law is put into effect while the legislation is being prepared.

Anne's law is named after Anne Duke whose family campaigned for better visiting rights during the pandemic.

Anne was cut off from her family while battling early-onset dementia and at points in the pandemic, Anne did not see anyone from her family for months.

She died in November 2021, aged 63.

Her daughter Natasha Hamilton said: "This is a legacy for everybody who will be going into care, who is still in care and who sadly isn't with us any more.

"This is something we want to put in place to remember everything we have gone through the past two years and the fight that we have had to bring this to the forefront."

When she launched the Anne's law campaign, Natasha said: "I find it absolutely awful thinking what is going through her head just now - that those faces she used to know, visiting her all the time, are no longer there. That part hurts me more than me not being able to see my mum.

"We have to learn from this so that care home residents are not kept apart from their families for almost a year again. Residents in care homes have to be living, not just existing."
