The nursing staff should become family: take the time to greet residents, show interests in them, and when time allows, sit and visit for a few minutes. Always display human warmth, acceptance, and kind, friendly care. A resident also needs self-esteem encouragements. The resident needs to see oneself as useful, and being well thought of by others.

In the novel, Zeena tells Ethan about her pain; "[Zeena] got [her] shooting pains so bad that [she went] over to Bettsbridge to spend the night…”(78). If Zeena’s sickness were only in her mind, to get attention, it would not be logical for her to leave to find help. However, the first thing Ethan thinks of when he hears of her pain is not his sympathy for her, but the financial burden the the trip to a new a doctor will cost him. Furthermore, when Ethan goes into their bedroom, the narrator states that Ethan found “[Zeena’s] mouth slightly open, her false teeth in a tumbler by the bed…” (88).
