Illinois would become the fourth state in the U.S. to allow video and audio monitoring devices in nursing homes
Illinois considers in-room security cameras for nursing homes, according to an article on the KTRS website.
Supporters say putting cameras in residents’ rooms would help ensure they’re treated well.
Some local nursing home administrators have concerns, however.
Questions have been raised whether a resident can give proper consent to be videotaped when it would often be a family member installing a camera.
The law would require consent from the resident and any roommates.
