Keys to Care Video

Our recent video shows the advantages of Keys to Care and the new Keys to Care App in use in a real care setting. See how staff are using the Keys to Care to review their practice and how relatives find the App a handy reference. Press the arrow to start.
Our grateful thanks to the Order of St John Care Trust, and to everyone who took part in the making of the video – particularly to Gwen, the resident who features in the starring role: herself.

If you find our free resources useful please consider making a donation or becoming an R&RA member to help us continue this vital work. Thank you!

We have no endowments or guaranteed funding so rely on the loyalty of our members and the support of our generous donors to continue our work.
