Assisted Living

"Assisted Living" follows 21-year-old Todd through his final day of work as a janitor at a nursing home. Todd breaks the monotony of his days with entertaining-and extremely unprofessional-diversions involving the residents. It is ultimately Todd's interactions with Mrs. Pearlman, an Alzheimer's patient who longs to see her son, that jeopardize his job. As her odd friendship with Todd develops, she begins to mistake the janitor for her son. When Todd in turn begins to assume the role, he rediscovers his own humanity and instigates a transformation for them both.
