Together
Order# AB420 (VHS)

Knowing a resident is perhaps the most essential factor in reducing neglect and other forms of abuse. This mini-documentary shows the very personal bond established between Doris, a nursing assistant, and Mr. Bernie, a World War II veteran who has had a stroke. Together, sharing their very different worlds, their histories and cultures, they form a close friendship and mutually beneficial understandings.

By understanding Mr. Bernie’s world and his perspectives on life, Doris is able to provide the best possible care.
