Plot

The statistics can be decidedly grim: four out of five Americans will die in a nursing home or hospital, despite what their wishes might be. The quality of their care in the last days will depend on the caregiving facility and the cost of that care. In the last of a series of four programs, On Our Own Terms: Moyers on Dying, Vol. 4 - A Time to Change, Bill Moyers interviews staff members of the Balm of Gilead Project in Birmingham, AL. It is the mission of this group to provide compassionate care for the terminally ill in a manner that neither removes their dignity nor sacrifices quality care.
