If you care for the ill or the elderly, watching "In Your Hands" may be the most valuable 13 minutes you will ever spend. A training video to help prevent elder abuse, the scenes it depicts are real, gathered examples from home health care organizations, nursing and long-term health facilities around the country. The psychological insights imparted here to deal with such situations are also real and effective. |

- Definition of quality care
- Loss of self-control by the elderly and staff
- Helping the elderly maintain their identity and independence
- Helping the elderly to be physically and emotionally comfortable
- The impact of racial and religious differences on ability to provide quality care
- Methods for achieving optimum care
