I work in nursing homes often. I don’t see anything wrong with this if the patient/family wants it. In fact, I’ve experienced a patient who had a camera in their room and it was disclosed to staff, it wasn’t a big deal. People just continued to do their job.

"Respondents to our survey of 273 staff at American nursing homes and assisted living facilities said that surveillance could create a culture of mistrust. Ubiquitous webcams make eldercare workers feel that they aren’t seen as capable of professional, moral behavior."
Fuck that, it is called holding them accountable. If a food truck vendor has a webcam overlooking the food prep, nana can have a camera overlooking her ass wiping.
