"State Senators Reject Proposals to Allow Video Cameras in Nursing Home Facilities"

March 6 , 2003
In order to prevent more instances of nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect, some people thought amending House Bill 1077 by allowing “granny cams” could be beneficial, however State senators rejected the proposal. Instead, the House Bill 1077 will strengthen procedures used for background checks and for health care workers. Many of the nation’s nursing home abuse problems have stemmed from improper nursing home employees that often times had previous record of abuse at other facilities but were still hired. Currently, the Health Department can take weeks or months to complete background checks and the House Bill amendment is headed to conference so that the legislation can be decided on.
