From Rooted In Rights' Electronic Visit Verification: a Threat to Independence for Disabled People

"These factors, critics say, may force disabled people back into institutional settings.  Some are opposed to what feels like a profound privacy violation and/or worried about being unable to find providers who are willing to work with EVV.  If they don't have private funds to pay for care, an option not available to many disabled people, they may be stuck in nursing homes."
