For years, parents have been using “nanny-cams” to check up on the actions of babysitters who are caring for their children. Those who support the use of nanny-cams claim that it gives parents peace of mind about what is going on when they are not home because their children are too young to accurately report what happens.
Now, some families are choosing to use similar technology to monitor what happens to their loved ones in nursing homes. Elderly people with dementia or other illnesses may have a hard time reporting when they are abused or neglected. Cameras may allow family members to accurately determine what is going on in their absence.
When a loved one dies in a nursing home, you may have video evidence of the death or of past abuse. However, the lack of such evidence is not a bar to recovery. You may be able to prove that nursing home neglect or abuse caused your loved one’s death in another way.
