State Bil Proposed To Allow Cameras To Monitor Nursing Home Care
One state attorney general is pushing a bill for cameras to be allowed in nursing homes to monitor patient care. The camera would incentivize caregivers to reduce abuse and neglect. The cost of the cameras would be covered by families who desire to have their loved one’s care monitored.
The attorney general had this to say about the bill, "The work that I have done ... as attorney general has unfortunately proven that too often when our loved ones are in a nursing home they are not always safe and they are not always well cared-for." For more, read the story.
