Sydney N. Pahren of Dinsmore & Shohl LLP reports on Esther’s Law, signed December 22, 2021 by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, allowing long-term care residents to install video cameras and recording devices in their rooms to combat elder abuse and neglect. Named for Esther Mitzi Piskor, a Cleveland nursing home abuse victim, the law requires facilities to provide prescribed authorization forms for residents, guardians, or attorneys-in-fact to approve monitoring devices at their own expense for installation, maintenance, and removal. Roommate consent is required for shared rooms, with facilities making reasonable accommodations like room transfers if consent is refused, and residents can withdraw consent anytime. Facilities may post surveillance notices at room entrances, but tampering or obstructing devices constitutes a first-degree misdemeanor except by residents, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, or law enforcement who alone may view recordings without prior authorization. Expected effective late March 2022, the law aims to increase enforcement actions against Ohio nursing homes and long-term care facilities. Dinsmore health care attorneys assist Ohio facilities in developing compliant policies and procedures addressing this development protecting residents from abuse while ensuring proper implementation of surveillance rights within legal frameworks established to prevent elder mistreatment.
