Can You Put a Surveillance Camera in a Nursing Home Room?

Technology has made it easier than ever to stay connected with loved ones — including installing cameras in a family member's nursing home room. These so-called granny cams have legal, privacy, and consent implications that vary by state.

Maryland has its own rules on recording, and most facilities have written policies as well. Getting it right protects the resident, the family, and the facility — and preserves the recordings as usable evidence if something goes wrong.
