A nursing home in Lexington, Kentucky has been cited by state officials for allegedly using cell phones to take inappropriate pictures and recordings of residents without their knowledge. Staff would then attach music with sexual lyrics to the cell photos and circulate them to other people.
The nursing home was issued a Type A citation by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services. Type A is the most serious citation a nursing home can receive in Kentucky.
The photos themselves were reportedly not sexually abusive in nature. Several employees at the nursing home have been fired because of the incident.
