California may allow some form of videotaping in assisted living facilities, following the success of an Orange County facility that installed the devices years ago, according to an article on the McKnights website.
At one time, a San Diego memory care center was forced to disable video cameras it installed in private rooms after the state refused to approve its license, presumably over privacy concerns.
Now the department is taking a second look, the article said.
New Jersey is now considering a law that would allow nursing home residents to hide such devices in their rooms but require the resident to consent.
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Washington allow video recording by nursing home residents.
