North Carolina In Home Care

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

Families of loved ones at senior care homes or receiving in home care from a visiting nurse, are checking the Internet for granny cams to monitor the care an elderly loved one receives from entrusted health care workers. Families appreciate the variety of granny cams, covert dvr hidden cameras and security cameras for nursing home, disguised as ordinary household and office products.

For instance, the Air Purifier hidden camera DVR  is a popular choice with many concerned families who choose to covertly monitor the care of their loved one. The air purifier hidden camera with built-in dvr features a motion sensor  that only records when motion is detected by the camera. So your not having to fast forward through uneventful recorded video.

It’s unfortunate that covert hidden cameras and nanny cams are needed by many families to protect their elderly loved one from being victimized by dishonest health care workers or service personnel visiting the home of an elderly patient.  Placing covert hidden nanny cameras in the home of an elderly parent has brought much needed peace of mind to many concerned family members.

Several months ago America was shocked to learn about an elderly patient with Alzheimer’s disease being mistreated in a nursing home.  Her son suspected elderly abuse when he visited his mother and saw red marks on her face.  When his complaints were ignored he put a hidden granny cam in the room which later recorded video evidence that confirmed his suspicion.

The story was a wake up call to families with loved ones in a nursing home or receiving North Carolina in home care services.  Increasingly older people are choosing to live independent lives and take advantage of North Carolina in home care.  But families of these elderly patients are worried about the level of care their loved one receives and have installed hidden surveillance cameras to monitor North Carolina in home care.  It’s not being paranoid but realistic about safety concerns, theft and physical abuse caught on camera at so many senior care homes across the nation.

Families of loved ones receiving North Carolina in home care are convinced that nanny cams such as the wall clock hidden camera DVR help safeguard elderly patients from being victimized by dishonest health care employees and visiting nurse. North Carolina in home care providers know that video evidence of elderly abuse at an elder care center or private home will be immediately shown to authorities to further investigate the abuse that might reveal other criminal acts.

Why Families Need Hidden Cameras In Nursing Home

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

There have been countless news reports about hidden cameras in nursing home recording abuse of elderly patients they were entrusted to provide safety and nurturing care. The following information emphasizes the importance of being vigilant about the safety of loved ones and how hidden cameras in nursing home can help guard against elderly abuse.

Driven by a mistrust of nursing homes, more families are taking advantage of advances in surveillance technology and using video cameras to help protect loved ones they suspect are being abused or mistreated by caregivers.

Even some facility managers and law enforcement officials are now using hidden cameras in nursing home to catch workers who mistreat elderly or vulnerable residents.  No figures are available, but specialist in the long-term care industry say the use of so-called “granny cams” is spreading, though the technology is also raising a host of legal and privacy issues.

Just this spring, an Ohio man placed a hidden camera in a desk fan to catch two nursing home workers abusing and hitting his 78-year -old mother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.  In New Jersey, workers were caught abusing an 87-year-old woman, prompting a wrongful-death lawsuit in June.  In New York, authorities arrested 22 workers last year after hidden cameras revealed maltreatment of residents in two facilities.

Georgia Anetzberger, president-elect of the National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse, said the spread of cameras in nursing homes is a part of a broader proliferation of video surveillance in society to catch anything from traffic violations to shoplifting.

“Cameras are used to catch people more than ever before, not just because the technology is there but because it’s more widely accepted,” she said.

For years, however, the long-term-care industry has fought legislative efforts across the United States to legalize the use of cameras, citing insurance costs and resident and employee privacy issues.  Critics said cameras would make it more difficult to hire staff and they also could misrepresent an incident.

The push to install video cameras in long-term-care facilities started to gain momentum a decade ago.  Legislation was introduced in more than 15 states, but only three-Texas, New Mexico and Maryland-adopted laws addressing the use of cameras in nursing homes, according to 2007 article in the Baylor Law Review.

In Texas, which approved the use of cameras in 2001, nursing-home residents and their families appreciate having the right to use the  technology, said Patty Ducayet, the states’s long-term-care ombudsman.  She said use has been limited, but she believes cameras provide a benefit.

“I really do think it is a deterrent,” Ducayet said. “I think it does have the potential to influence the way someone behaves and cares for you in the privacy of your room.”

In New Mexico, residents must be notified of their right to have a camera when they move into a facility.

“As it turns out, it hasn’t been a big issue from the providers’ standpoint,” said Linda Sechovec, executive director with the New Mexico Health Care Association, an industry trade group that represents nursing homes. “It hasn’t been something that is widespread.  I think in general, families don’t want to intrude (on their loved ones) with cameras unless there’s a real serious concern.”

Violett King, one of the leading advocates for using cameras, believes they are “the only solution” for family members who can’t be present 24 hours a day.  King founded the non-profit advocacy group Nursing Home monitors in 19996 after her father suffered abuse while in a facility.

To try to demonstrate the effectiveness of such cameras, King’s group recruited residents in more than a dozen facilities in the early 2000s.  The group offered to pay for the cameras, but the effort fizzled.  King, based in Illinois, said the homes often resisted or intimidated residents and their families who wanted to participate.

But King things the climate for cameras has improved.  ”I think people are more aware of what’s going on in nursing homes,” she said.

Not all resident advocates believe cameras are the best way to protect the elderly.

Harbir Kaur, an abuse-prevention expert with ElderCare Rights Alliance in Minnesota, said there are better tools: training, education and empowering consumers through strong resident and family councils.

Kaur thinks residents have the right to use a camera, but she is worried that widespread use of the technology would turn nursing facilities into highly monitored zones with less privacy and dignity. However, hidden cameras in nursing home has brought many concerned families greater peace-of-mind. With hidden cameras in nursing home, families can be certain that the facility is safe for loved ones and that employees are providing the nurturing care expected.

How A Woman Can Disguise Her Voice As a Man

Sunday, November 6th, 2011

Today’s technology can help a woman or anyone disguise their voice. The following story is just one example of how the Telephone Voice Changer was used…

Bleary-eyed, Casey strolled in to the office, clutching a cup of coffee.  She almost stumbled over her friend Jen at the elevator.

“I’m so sorry,” Casey apologized, “This guy keeps calling me at three in the morning.  Every night, he tries to tell me these nasty things.  I keep hoping he’ll stop, but he doesn’t!”

Jen clucked, “I bet the phone company said they couldn’t do anything about it, huh?”

“Yeah,” Casey explained, “since he’s not actually threatening me, and he’s blocking his caller ID, they’re helpless.  They actually told me to turn off my ringer.  I can’t do that!  What if there’s an emergency when the kids are at their dad’s?”

“The same thing happened to me last year,” whispered Jen.  ”Wanna know how I got rid of the guy?”

Jen told Casey how her old college roommate told her about the Pretender Voice Changer.

She loved her new apartment, but wasn’t so crazy about the neighborhood.  Since the voice changer made it sound like a burly man lived at her place, she thought it would be perfect if someone buzzed her doorbell late at night.

“Instead,” Jen said, “this jerk starts calling my number ALL THE TIME.  I’d get messages from him all day long, but I don’t think he had the guts to actually call me at night.  So I took a personal day, got myself a good book and settled in next to the phone.”

“So what happened,” asked Casey.

“Sure enough, the guy calls,” Jen said, “and I answer, “hello, this is Mark.”

Casey gasped, “what did he do?”

“He just gulped and said he had the wrong number,” Jen replied.

Casey puzzled, “the guy didn’t know you were a woman?”

“He had no clue,” exclaimed Jen, “because it sounds so real. I’ve got it on my answering machine, if you want to hear it.”

Jen whipped out her cell phone and dialed her home number, handing the phone to Casey as it rang.  When the machine picked up, Casey’s eyes bulged with surprise.

“No way,” Casey gasped. “There’s no way that’s your voice.  You sound like a guy!”

“It’s great,” Jen confessed, “though I did have to explain to my Mom why some guy was answering my phone.  But it gets better.  The guy called back one more time.”

“What’d you do?” asked Casey?

“This time, I pressed the button that made it sound like I had a baby crying in the background,” giggled Jen.  ”I switched on my male voice and told him that I’d better not find the guy that woke up my kid.  I swear I heard him drop the phone, he tried to hang up so fast!”

You demand the best – And we deliver,

P.S. Whether you’re gathering important evidence or simply protecting yourself by recording phone calls and conversations, you can get great sound quality in a small package without the hassles of cassette tapes.
