I agree that the stopping of abuse and prosecution of abusers is way more important than the privacy issue, which they don’t have much of there anyways, and after experiencing this problem with my own mother, I agree that video cameras are the ONLY thing that will be able to stop these crimes and get these abusers out of the nursing homes. Legislators, please mandate bedroom video cameras, except for people who can verbalize that they don’t want it, and have all their faculties. I am personally terrified of having to go to one myself, but the facts are that most of us will have to go to one some day. Mandate it now, while you have a chance to avoid being abused!!!!!!!!

While this is a great start, this program should be extended to all New York State Nursing Homes. Read more about Nursing Home Abuse at www.myelderadvocateblog.com.
