Questions
Do I need a care or legal background for this course?
No. The course uses public registers and plain questions. It gives no medical, legal or financial advice.
Does passing the exam mean a home is good?
No. The certificate of completion records that you passed this site's exam. It says nothing about any home.
Will this course tell me what a home should cost?
No. Memory care prices are not public data and this site does not guess them. The course shows you how to get each home's costs in writing.
