Aggressive behavior can be the most troubling - and possibly the least understood of all behavioral problems confronted by those who work with older adults. This unique documentary presents a remarkable series of real-life situations in which healthcare providers must cope with behaviorally impaired or aggressive elders. Designed for nurses, nursing assistants and other caregivers, this training program powerfully conveys the challenges faced by hospital and nursing home staff, while providing practical solutions to a variety of everyday problems.
