Active Control
Group I: Mock Camera GroupActive Control1 Intervention
2) The mock camera(s) will be a stationary device installed on the ceiling of a common living area of the participant's home. They will not record video or audio but will be installed with a sensor chip and a Wi-Fi connection, which will notify the study team if the device has been touched, tampered, altered, or disrupted power sources. After installing the device, the study technician and study coordinator will test the anti-tampering sensor to ensure potential future tampering will be detected. A sign will be placed outside the home to notify individuals regarding the potential recording, reading, "NOTICE Audio and/or video surveillance may be in use on these premises". Daily check-ins to assess whether elder abuse may have been experienced by the participant will occur by phone or other preferred mode of communication. In the event of reported abuse, exploitation, and neglect, despite not being mandatory reporters, we will report to NJ APS and the IRB.
Group II: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
Each participant will receive educational packages about elderly community-living.
Group III: Camera GroupActive Control1 Intervention
1) The camera(s) will be a stationary device installed by the study technician on the ceiling of a common living area of the participant's home. The camera(s) will record video and audio data to be stored in our secure data base. The cameras will be purchased from YI Technology (see more details in Section 1.7). A sign will be placed outside the home to notify individuals regarding the potential recording, reading, "NOTICE Audio and/or video surveillance may be in use on these premises". Highlighted video and audio data will be reviewed daily by the study technician. If there is evidence of abuse, exploitation, and neglect on these video and audio data, a report will be made to APS and the IRB.
