ABC News has released footage of a health care worker beating a resident whom, it appears, was not cooperating with attempts to care for him. The beating appears quite vicious. The family had, unknown to facility staff, installed a hidden camera in the room of the resident, who resides in a Baltimore, Maryland nursing home.
As you know, here in Texas, the law addresses covert monitoring–but lays out no real and affirmative sanctions against residents and family members who do it. So, beware and actively verify that your staff is not abusing residents, or you may find that your facility is subject to an ABC news story complete with video.
