The goal of this petition is to advocate on behalf of those who cannot self advocate because of cognitive impairment (CI) and as a result have been placed in an assisted living facility (ALF). This includes but is not limited to those people who have Dementia, Alzheimer's, traumatic brain injury, and the like.

This petition is asking if you will support a BiIl that will give the families of cognitively impaired patients the undeniable right to place a camera with audio and visual recording in the room of the CI patient.

Currently, the nursing home business has THE right to grant or deny the request to place a camera in a patient's room; however, this gives too much anonymity to the caretakers who know fully that the patient cannot recall any facts or details of events that happen to them, near them, or even by them. Having a camera on a CI patient will give everyone transparency into the day-to-day life of a committed individual, will allow families to support the caretakers, and will give confidence in the care of a person who cannot think for him or herself.

After all, do YOU want to be left alone in the care of someone who knows fully that no one will ever know what was done to you in private? Please sign this petition, I beg you. It might protect you one day!

The treatment of our elderly is appalling in many nursing homes. With a huge shortage of nurses and other qualified individuals, I feel many facilities are hiring people just to fulfill quotas. Having a camera in the rooms may also prevent thefts.

I came into my grandmother's room in a nursing home about 9pm. She was laying naked in a stripped bed with the ac turned on high. Without the ability to move or speak she was utterly at the mercy of the aides. The manager did not respond to the situation because I had already turned off the ac and covered her with a blanket.

Any family who has a member with a mental health issue and who needs long term care should be able to request to have access to their care via cameras installed in their room

Spread the word Tammy! Let's make this go viral. We need a mass of signatures for the government to start taking this seriously. We need the attention of the World on this issue.
