I remember seeing this is high school back in '84. Stuck in my mind since then. One of the few things I remember about high school. Was always hoping to see it again. Now I have it in my video library for my young daughter to see when she grows up. Am so glad they brought it to DVD. Just love it.

I have interacted with many elderly people and their families. I have used this film in workshops to help them better understand how to interact with individuals with limited capacity. The message in this movie is beautifully communicated.

This video touches your heart as it describes a family dealing with a loved one who is in a nursing home.

First saw this film in high school ('82-83) when my Health teacher showed it to us. I'd always enjoyed visiting nursing homes but it was films like this that led me to work in nursing homes thru college & major in long term care administration and then a career in nursing. I've always remembered the message of the film when working with elderly- that even if they can't speak or communicate clearly, we should always assume that they know- at some level- we are there & they have memories. This film should be shown to all children and young adults and people going into the field of geriatrics. Very happy to be able to purchase it!

I have used this video for nearly thirty (30) years. It is one of the best videos in teaching young people to visit older members in nursing homes or those that have become homebound. It helps all ages to "get off of self" and into the minds of the one being visited. I rate this video A+ in everyway. Get your hanky because I know you will be moved. No matter how many times I view this story--it always touches my heart. I know it will yours as well. Get one copy for yourself and one to share with a friend.
