Residents themselves explain what makes a great nursing assistant. They'll tell you how it feels knowing that a call bell will be answered quickly; how much they appreciate food containers opened on a food tray; how good it is to know when they're in pain, they'll be taken seriously; and not surprising, how good it feels when someone takes the time to know them. Filmed at Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital.
Topics: Activities of daily living, responding to call light, respect, building relationships, individualized care
Audience: Allied health training programs; hospital, assisted-living, and nursing home staff; home health aides.
