11. Overall, we felt the presentation went well. Despite our best efforts, the turn out was not ideal. However, the one audience member who attended was grateful for the individualized instruction. The administrator was not present during the presentation, so the audience member graciously completed the evaluation form. It was disappointing to arrive for our presentation to hear that none of the residents where expecting us (for the second time).

He was very grateful for the information and home care supplies..
