"Moshe" wanted a TV.His social worker in the nursing home (in northern Israel) contacted us and explained that he is 67 years old, married, and has 2 children who are 27 years old. Several years ago, he suffered a severe head injury that left him with a sunken skull. He was unconscious and in rehab for about 11 months. He came home but suffered severe agitation in the evening hours. His wife, who is a factory worker, was unable to function during the day. He has been in the nursing home for 4 months. He is primarily wheelchair bound and needs assistance with daily living. Despite his appearance he is capable of maintaining a conversation and remembering things. He is very interested in current events, culture, and sports. His wife was asked to bring him a TV, but she said that she has very little money and is trying to help her daughter out with some dental work.
