Todd works in mysterious ways.

Assisted Living chronicles a day in the life of a young nursing home janitor, Todd, a pot-smoking custodian who takes pleasure in toying with the senile residents of the retirement community. When one of the residents mistakes Todd for her son, he finds himself becoming emotionally attached to his work for the first time. In order to lend the film a realistic fly-on-the-wall quality, it was shot in an actual nursing home, using real residents as many of the actors, with mixed in footage from a documentary that was made at the facility, blurring the lines between fact and fiction.
