Thank you for the article "A Measure of Contentment" (Reflections, August). This story wonderfully illustrates the respect given by caregivers in a nursing home through their mindfulness, attention to individual needs, and determination to meet an individual's preferences when the context has changed. Blessings and gratitude to those caregivers! And to AJN for sharing the story with other nurses.
