A nursing home bill is advancing after increasing stories of abuse have surfaced. The bill advocates the use of “granny cams” in one state. The cameras would be installed to observe the care of a patient in a nursing home facility. The debate related to the bill is whether or not a family member should be allowed to install the camera without the facility's knowledge.

Otherwise, the bill advocates that nursing home facilities should be made aware when cameras are installed. For more, read the story.
