It is unlikely you will get past the one (exclusive) visitor rule. Sounds like a Zero Tolerance policy that administrative people hide behind.
Try another Avenue for access. Someone needs to make the medical decisions for your mom, Health Care Power of Attorney. Mom can’t decide. Dad is cognitively incapable. The duty falls to you. In order to properly exercise your role in deciding what is best for your mom in accordance with her wishes you must be present from time to time to visually monitor her health, comfort, pain, quality of life, improvement/decline. As her advocate and POA you must have access.
Get names and titles of everyone you talk too. Make meeting notes. Express to them that under NO circumstances are they to obtain any authorizations or consents from your cognitively impaired father. Send a follow up letter to the appropriate person summarizing the conversation and probably unfortunate denial.
Do not harass the doctors, nurses, desk staff, and others responsible for her care. It is outside their control. Your issue is with some administrative dweeb hiding behind policy. Ask for a written copy of the policy. Research the Governors Executive Orders.
Best wishes, you have a long haul ahead.
