A Pennsylvania nursing home's removal of a webcam from a disabled patient's room has created a controversy, according to an article on the McKnight's website.
The patient, who has cerebral palsy, used the webcam to communicate privately with family.
The facility eventually returned the equipment, but challenges ensued as it grappled with privacy concerns and policies, the article said.
Gavin Kerr, president and CEO or Inglis House, said the facility is drafting a policy and will support residents' rights to cameras as long as they notify staff about their use.
