I've worked in care homes over the yrs and I see both side, yes, the residents need to feel safe, monitored and protected, however, I can't see it ever being passed having cameras in tne bedrooms, infringement of dignity and privacy...however 2 way intacoms yes! Cameras on every corridor yes, so can see who goes in who's rooms
My grandparents live in a sheltered bungalow area, all have their own bungalows, with red pully cords in every room for emergency purposes, but also have an intercom on the wall so at any one time the warden can talk through it and nan and grandad answer..
Scared the poo out of me one Xmas after it was fitted...walked through to the loo ad this Loud voice came from nowhere saying merry Christmas Mr and Mrs....are you all ok?.. I nearly shat myself lol....Everyone talked back, had a giggle and that was that
Safely for the vulnerable is paramount.
Confusion is a lifestyle - not a state of mind
