What You Don't Know
Florida Seniors and The Vulnerable
When Florida legislators vote on an issue, they vote the way they want. They do not have to vote according to the desires of their constituents. A camera bill has died over the past 5 years, which by default says most legislators vote for the insurance industry and business-- NOT the patient or vulnerable resident.
Law Already in Place
Florida Statute 768.21 was passed in 1990. This law PROHIBITS who can sue for medical negligence. If your 86 year old mother is neglected to the point of death, you, the adult (26+ yr old) child, CANNOT sue!!! In 2025 SB6017, Fl Senator Yarbrough presented a bill that allows adult children to sue and earn awards from late suits; however, Governor DeSantis vetoed it.
There is NO Florida Law that Allows or Denies a Camera
There is NO law in Florida that denies you the right from installing a camera in a nursing home room wherein your loved-one is a resident. The problem is that WITHOUT a law, the control remains in the control of the facility. If they say, "NO CAMERA HERE!", they can evict or retaliate against the resident if they install a camera.
DO WHAT YOU CAN DO!!
Install a camera today!! No matter what the facility says, INSTALL a camera. Then install a hidden camera to watch your camera!!! Overkill???? ABSOLUTELY NOT! You are trying to protect someone who CANNOT self defend nor self advocate. Do what you can do!
