As a registered manager of a residential home (Arden House in Pickering) and someone who has worked in health and social care for over 40 years, I was delighted to receive copies of Roche Legal’s “Caring for an Elderly Relative” book. I feel that the books are an invaluable resource for residential homes, friends and relatives of the residents. I also feel that the relatives caring for an older person in the community would find the book helpful and a valuable resource when seeking information. I would like to recommend these books to a wider audience as I feel people often do not know where to go for information and these books have it in a clear and helpful manner, including where to seek further advice
