Wow! I personally recognized at least three clients in this video who I took care of when I was a Therapy Aide in Brooklyn.

My husband was the audio guy on this documentary. He said the first thing you noticed was the terrible stench of urine and feces.

I work in a state facility, called an IRA, individual residential alternative. A home where 12 individuals live. I love them all, and consider it a privelege to care for them. If you take the time to get to know them, whether they can talk or not, they communicate in so many other ways. the system still needs changes, however.

I'm glad we're doing better nowadays. It breaks my heart to think about ANYONE being treated this bad.
