“What’s important is quality care. It is what I wanted with my mother, and less would never be good enough.”
Sharon B.
“The knowledge of the presenters was really top-notch. These are people I would likely just pass on the street and may hardly notice. Their experience was extensive; they conveyed their experience and new information exceptionally well.”
Michael S.
“The communication skills segment and dealing with difficult clients was especially helpful to me.”
Patricia G.
“I’ve made every mistake there is to make with my elderly parents. So I’m here to learn what it is I can do better.”
Sandra DP
“I’ve learned through this training I must FIRST take good care of myself!”
Veronica B.
“I am impressed that good caregiving is as much an art as science and that these skills can be learned.”

“One of the reasons I joined the board was to help create an association that works for everyone, not only the paid care giver but the volunteer care giver, the person receiving care and the family members. No one should feel alone. Everyone should be able to live the fullest life possible.”
