Is the "patient" in AL, MC, LTC?

How old is the patient?

Does the "patient" have an active PoA who oversees their care and decisions?

What do you mean by "companion"? Like dating? Sexual?

Is the potential "companion" also a resident of the facility?

Is the potential "companion" able to make decisions in their own best interests?

Not sure what Sundowning has to do with companionship... usually when people sundown they get agitated and want to go "home".

This is not something that is ruled by "laws" unless someone does something that breaks an actual criminal law (assault, rape, etc).
