My bf and I were going to hand out flowers in the local nursing home and hospital, but I just wondered if that would be ok since some ppl might be allergic to them...

You are right. Nursing homes today will accept flowers if placed in the visiting room or a room of the staffs choosing, but not to the individual residents. They need to be cared for, plus as you say, the allergies are a concern. The best thing is to call ahead and check with the management.
Unfortunately, you will have to do the same with the hospital. They will probably accept them at the front desks but that is all. It really is a shame when you would like to do something so nice. They won't even accept magazines in a Nursing home anymore, I tried.

you guys are very nice. I think you are smart to think that some people are allergic maybe stop by the nurses station at the nursing home and ask if any of the paitents are allergic. for the hospitals people in the ICU I dont think they allow flowers there my daughter was in the ICU before and they wouldnt allow my flowers in her room.

Yes and if there is a problem the nurse will put the flowers in an appropriate place.
