vulnerable adult who is receiving or has been determined to need

protective services pursuant to the Protective Services for

Vulnerable Adults Act.

vulnerable adult, the court shall restrict the visitation of a

custodian or other person specified by the court who is alleged or

has been determined to have abused, neglected or exploited the

vulnerable adult.

custodian or other person alleged or determined to have abused,

neglected or exploited a vulnerable adult.

B. If the Department of Human Services determines, as a result

of its investigation or an investigation by the Office of Client

Advocacy within the State Department of Health, that a vulnerable

adult needs voluntary or involuntary protective services as a result

of abuse, neglect or exploitation by the caretaker or by any other

person, the Department of Human Services may petition the district

court to restrict the visitation of such custodian or other person

with the vulnerable adult.

C. 1. Consistent with the welfare and safety of the vulnerable

adult, the court may require supervised visitation, prohibit

visitation or otherwise limit the visitation by the custodian or

such other person with the vulnerable adult.

record by the court.

D. The owner, operator or any facility personnel of a nursing

care facility having reason to believe that visitation of a

vulnerable adult should be restricted may notify the Office of the

State Long-Term Care Ombudsman within the Office of the Attorney

General or the appropriate state entity. Any other person having

reason to believe that visitation of a vulnerable adult should be

restricted may notify the appropriate state entity pursuant to the

Protective Services for Vulnerable Adults Act.
