I live in N.Y State. If I get a nanny cam do I have to make this agency aware I have one?
I’m considering getting a nanny cam for proof these women they are sending into my home what they actually do. The agency said I have to let them know so they can let the aides aware so they can decide if they want to come.
Very sorry. First make a written list of task, like clean bathroom. If it is a bathroom you use, this is a fair request. Take out trash, wipe down kitchen counters. IME, the aids do not do heavy cleaning, but they are responsible for leaving house in the condition it was in before they got there. Then send list to agency, tell them if they if have problem with it to let you know, then leave it for aid.
Your profile says that you are 40 and suffered a stroke at 36 and in a NH. Is that correct? I am so sorry that you are going through this at such a young age. My father had a stroke in his eighties after heart surgery. Strokes are very scary.
You want to put up a camera in your home for your care? If it’s legal and that makes you feel comfortable then do it. Yes, tell them about the camera if that is what the agency is telling you to do.
Can you look up the laws concerning cameras in your area? In our area we are allowed to use cameras in nursing homes. There are stipulations. The camera cannot invade the privacy of a roommate. Audio recording is not illegal in our state. We can record without consent from the other party.
Not at all. I’m trying to switch agencies again. Their aides that I reported to them they keep sending back. They won’t even clean bathroom but they have no problem using it. They come clock in and sit down for the day. If they do something it’s about 30 minutes before time to clock out.
