After years of delays, an Australian-first trial of CCTV cameras inside the rooms of aged care residents has finally started.
Key points:
It has begun at two sites in South Australia
Residents and families hope it will prevent abuse
The program is being piloted at two South Australian homes and follows the shocking findings of the Royal Commission into Aged Care and Quality, which uncovered disturbing cases of abuse and mistreatment of some of our most vulnerable.
Five state-run sites were meant to be involved by the end of 2019, but that has shrunk to two.
The cameras have been switched on at the Mount Pleasant District Hospital s aged care home in the Adelaide Hills.
