Hi all
It's been a while since my last post and Mum is moving along slowly,thank goodness, on her dementia journey at present. She is doing even less than before and my support is growing but we're ok.
However I'm thinking of using a small cctv camera in her flat. She lives in sheltered accommodation and has 2 visits a week from carers and 1 from cleaner as well as myself of course. I wanted to know if others who have used or are using cctv have let the carers/cleaners or scheme managers know about it before installing it? Is there a legal obligation to do so? I've got a very basic model to trial.
Obviously with Mum's memory she says one thing and carers notes say another sometimes but she also doesn't remember if cleaner popped in to change day or if she didn't allow her in.Then I have to investigate to ensure all is as it should be. I felt maybe cctv would be helpful in this and also when I'm not there to be able to check in with it now and then to see all ok. She is more unsteady on her feet now and it would be good to know if she gets up at night.
Thoughts appreciated thanks
