If you want to learn about Residential Assisted Living there is no place better than RAL. Gene and team have created a comprehensive program leaving nothing out. Further, their business model truly comes from the heart and is a family business. Those who are not family are typically previous students of the academy who have taken Gene's teachings and run with them. Something I am about to embark on. Gene created the map so you don't have to. Lastly, they spare no expense to give you a sophisticated and classy learning experience from handouts, notebooks, powerpoint presentation, speakers and good food to sustain you for the duration of the three day intensive course. Worth every penny!
