What the National Alliance had to say about Quick Tips for Caregivers:
"This is a worthwhile book that should be on the shelf of every in-home caregiver. It also makes an excellent text for home health aides and training programs. is very sensible, useful and easy to follow. It covers a lot of information found in other books, but here it is very easy to find and digest...Highly recommended."

What the National Alliance had to say about our National Caregiver Training Program:
" This 18-hour curriculum is perhaps the most comprehensive and highest quality caregiver educational program available today. The material is very well produced, written and directed, and very very thorough and easy to follow. . . ."

Video Librarian - High Recognition for eight video/DVDs. "...a worthy addition to a caregiver's training arsenal: it does exactly what its title says it will. ..with its sensible and truly helpful advice. An ideal addition to a library collection; its "borrowability" would help ease the many other expenses associated with home health care. This is highly recommended.
