Re: parent in a nursing home
Based on the information provided, I can't help you.
You need to know if she has been declared incompetent, if he is her guardian, what legal documents did she execute giving him this authority over her, etc.
She could call the nursing home and ask why she can't see her mom. Ask under what authority the husband is operating under.
I would strongly encourage the child (aka your girlfriend) to retain an attorney to represent her.
In Harris County I refer friends to W. Kevin Alter in Houston, Texas. He has reasonable prices and is very thorough.
His office is in the museum district.
Phone number 713.526.2333. Be sure to let him know that Fran sent you!
Good luck!
