What is the background to RightCareIndex?
RightCareIndex is the vision of Christine Rowberry. The ultimate aim is to inform and enlighten a broad spectrum of people about care services in a simple and holistic way.
Christine sits on the committee of Cornwall Partners In Care while and runs her own successfully established and respected nursing and domiciliary care agency with specialist care services for people with Learning Disabilities.
This experience, knowledge and the fact that we really do care, sets us apart from standard publishers.
What types of care are covered in RightCareIndex publications?
Our first publication launched in Cornwall in June 2007 and has fast become the definitive guide for care in the county. Since then we have continued up throughout the South west of the country to Devon, Dorset and Somerset.
