Guardians may restrict contact between adult wards and specific persons for up to 7 business days (for family/friends) or 60 days (for others) if there is good cause to believe interaction poses risk of significant physical, psychological, or financial harm

Guardians must provide wards with at least 14 days advance notice before moving them to a more restrictive residential setting, unless authorized by the guardianship plan or court order
