That’s seems like a well thought out policy with appropriate checks and balances built in. It would be hard to argue against this being the best of a bad situation.

Apples and fruit. Cement and building materials. Giraffes and animals. Alcohol and drugs.

Damn, that nurse/camera story is truly disgusting - but sadly, like you say, these people do exist. Imagine being an intensely private and reserved person your whole life - then one of your kids decides to film you 24/7. I’d be mortified if that was me.

If you have any suspicion of illegality and or impropriety that includes the management I would suggest that you nope your relative the fuck out of that home…

I’m not sure how you can come to that conclusion when it contradicts the actual words I wrote.

Yes, it is someone’s home… and in this specific incidence it is a third party trying to install a camera. There is nothing in the post that says the mother has requested to be filmed in her most intimate setting.

That seems completely reasonable. I, personally, would support such a stance from any care home. If you don’t trust us enough to broach a subject with us I wouldn’t want you as a client.

Yes. Absolutely. If someone questioned my staff’s honesty and DIDN’T BRING IT TO MY ATTENTION FIRST, I wouldn’t want them as customers.

I’m not suggesting for one second that the mother would have a negative care experience. I’m just stating the obvious that some people would no longer do those extra little things. I notice in some of the care homes I go to that some residents are called by name and some are referred to by room number. All of them have their needs met - just some are treated more compassionately and others are treated only professionally.

Dutch not Danish?

Honestly I found it really easy to read - not sure what that says about me though. I often find this illiterate text-to-speech style is “easier” to decipher when I read it out loud (albeit in my head). I’m not sure if that last sentence will make sense to everybody.

As with almost any type of repetitive training the key gain is to reduce / eliminate thinking time to maximise reaction time. Whether that be fire training, first aid or a body motion the principal is the same. The difference between trying to remember versus simply knowing.

A for horses, B for lamb, C for miles, D for Kate etc. etc. The cockney alphabet.

Just remember that if the staff find out that you apparently trust none of them and believe that they are - potentially - thieves there is a possibility that the level and quality of care your mother receives could diminish. Also, I assume you’ve checked the legality of filming this way in your jurisdiction.

Hello? This is the internet. Please don’t complicate things with your thinking and logic. /s

Robo Cop, Total Recall and Starship Troopers are sometimes seen as an unofficial trilogy of bad capitalism. They have the same director and some overlapping themes.

Yeah - an application of heat to create a chemical change. You’re correct there. My answer was incomplete.

Cooking (in the English I was taught) involves the application of heat - frying, baking, roasting, boiling etc are the names for specific ways to do this. A sandwich would be made or prepared.

When did England become an island?

That some foreigners had taken a piece of land and cut-off this area from their kinfolk?
