If you are a baby boomer or about to become one and your parents are still alive, you are faced with a dilemma about their care. Millions of Americans are being challenged by this problem. Can you afford the $3,000.00-$8,000.00 a month or more for a nursing home? If not, the options become limited very, very quickly. Home healthcare is about all that's left.
It has been reported that approximately 20 percent of all nursing homes or assisted care facilities report some kind of elder abuse of their patients. That can be manifested in physical, verbal, or even in non verbal abuse. For patients with Alzheimer's or dementia the statistics are even higher.
And sadly, as more and more older Americans flock to these facilities the demand for qualified labor intensifies which only makes the problem worse-finding qualified people.
So if you have loved ones in a nursing home or an assisted living facility of some kind how do you go about preventing or catching elder abuse in a nursing home?
One of the best ways for elder abuse prevention I have found is with a hidden spy camera or spy camera. Now there is a new breed of spy camera out that has a DVR built right into it-a DVR hidden spy camera.
The spy camera is nothing more than a Board camera hidden inside a common everyday device. The object is usually a working object, which further enhances the deception. Some examples are boomboxes air purifiers, wall clocks, electrical outlets and other common objects. The more common the better.
So inside these objects is the camera and the DVR. The DVR records images to an 8 GB SD card. Up to 144 hours of recording time is available and with the motion activation feature enabled it is possible to record much more.
You place the object aimed in the direction you want to record and using the remote control you can start the recording.
If you are looking to catch elder abuse of your parents in a nursing home or assisted living facility a DVR hidden camera may be the best way to go.
When are you getting one?
