    Default Re: Elder Law - Right to Use Web Camera in Alf

    they do not have to allow a camera to be placed in their facility.


    additionally, it is actually illegal. Florida requires all parties to a conversation to permit the conversation be recorded.

    I know, you are going to say the sign give notice and by them speaking they have given tacit approval. Sorry, given the situation, not going to work. Take it out or risk jail.

    On top of that, the facility is at risk of HIPAA violations which can be a criminal issue for them.

    OP specifically said that he is not recording anything at all, just using the web camera to check in on mom. Plus this is an assisted living facility so mom has her own apartment and has given permission for this. I don't see how it can violate HIPAA.

    To me, this would be like an apartment complex saying someone couldn't do that. However, I honestly don't know if an assisted living facility can make rules for their residents apartments that regular apartment complexes couldn't make.
