A man is calling on Alabama lawmakers to pass a bill allowing cameras inside nursing homes. But, one state official says having the cameras could cause issues.
In 2011, Ohio native, Steve Piskor’s mother, Esther was in a nursing home receiving care while battling dementia. But, after noticing some alarming red flags, her son installed hidden cameras in her room. What he saw was disturbing.He says those aides lost their jobs and were sent off to prison. After his mother died years later, Steve began urging Ohio lawmakers to pass Esther’s Law.
“It gives people peace of mind knowing that they can check in on them anytime they want to,” Steve adds. “One thing we’ve got to be very careful with about a camera in a nursing home is this is a health care facility, and a patient has a right to his or her privacy…and in many nursing homes across Alabama, you have double occupancy rooms,” John Matson explains. He adds, simply putting up signs about the cameras isn’t an easy solution.
