title: Unsung heroines. A vision of home care.
abstract: The author provides a poignant narrative reminding nurse managers of their need to understand the difficulties and obstacles faced daily by home health aides. Sobering accounts describe mistreatment and injustice, often motivated by racial and ethnic prejudices. Every nurse manager should ask: "Do I build relationships with our aides that shown them they are truly and genuinely valued?"
