Video cameras would be a great to start !
That should be Law to have them in each
patients room 24/7 !
Believe me " things do go on " so much
so that I would not want any of my relatives
in one for sure. God help those who can't
walk , talk or be self sufficient and who
don't have an advocate.
Report? That's all well and good, but
who do you think is going to protect the
person in there should that be done??
