🚨 SMILE, GRANDMA — YOU’RE ON CAMERA!
Across America, families are sneaking cameras into nursing homes and assisted living centers because they don’t trust the care their loved ones are getting.
Since 2019, 17 states — from Texas to Rhode Island — have passed laws making it legal to put cameras in residents’ rooms, often after horror stories of neglect, bruises, and forgotten meals.
During COVID-19 lockdowns, when families were banned from visiting, demand for “eyes in the room” skyrocketed — because nothing says “trust” like hiding a webcam on top of the fridge.
Experts warn that cameras might catch problems but won’t fix them — real solutions need more staff, better training, and tougher inspections, not just constant surveillance.
Is 24/7 monitoring the future of eldercare — or just a high-tech guilt trip for a broken system?
