Hospital Visitation Authorization
A hospital visitation authorization form lets you specify in writing who can and can't visit you during a hospital stay, ensuring your wishes are known if you become ill or incapacitated and need care in a medical, assisted living, rehabilitation, or nursing facility.
Maybe it's a friend who's shown up for you more than family has. A partner the hospital wouldn't automatically recognize. Or someone you'd rather not see, even if you share a last name. This form means you don't have to leave that to chance or hope a nurse guesses who matters to you. It protects your peace of mind, your privacy, and your right to choose who's by your side when things are hard, so you're not stuck next to the wrong person, or missing the right one.
