Its a sad day when the use of cell phone cameras to take and share photos of nursing home employees sexually exploiting residents isnt RECOGNIZED AS ABUSE. By the staff committing these acts.
Bluegrass Care and Rehabilitation Center in Lexington has been cited by state officials who allege that the staff used personal cell phones to inappropriately photograph and make audio recordings of residents without their knowledge, according to documents from the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services.
The staff attached songs with sexual lyrics to the photographs and circulated them to other staffers, Cabinet spokeswoman Beth Fisher said.
[...]
There was no evidence that the facility had identified or trained staff that using residents pictures and/or recordings of a sexually exploitative nature were a form of abuse, the citation said.
Guess its time to update the ABUSE policies folks. And the CELL PHONE policy as well.
