"The class has
been confirming. I have come to understand that the way I
handled some issues in the past could have been handled better.
The sessions on biology and physiology of aging helped me
professionally and personally. I have used this information
with out wellness program."

"The CCRC program has greatly benefited me in my abilities to
work with all levels of staff and residents, as well as improved my
leadership and communication skills. I would highly recommend this
program to any leader who is seeking to improve the quality and
services offered by their organization, not only to residents but
also to staff & associates."

Libby Bush

"The
content of this program is presented in time increments that are
manageable to, participate in (the two days are perfect),
implement over the longer period of time (having a month in
between sessions makes possessing the information workable) and
therefore incorporate into your skill set as a leader and
manager."
