Reviews
All of us who are concerned with providing the highest quality of care for the elderly are also concerned about how we can ensure that proper training is given to those to whom that care is entrusted. We have reviewed the [RDB Training] package and believe it has a major contribution to make by providing care home managers and staff with a comprehensive range of basic skills critical to giving elderly people the quality of care which we would like to see become standard in this country. -- Tom Breen, Director UK operations * Help The Aged *
