The experience of living in dementia care environments hasn’t evolved in 30 years – and we think it’s time for change. Conversations with disruptive operators, policy shapers, and designers examine how new thinking is shaping the places people living with dementia call home. Each episode, we’ll elaborate on a single pattern of innovation in dementia environments - some focusing on physical spaces, others highlighting care philosophies and procedures. Join Max Winters and Jennifer Sodo, senior living architects at Perkins Eastman, as we seek a wide variety of perspectives on these topics, from across disciplines and from around the world. We hope these conversations will inspire the listener to join us in empowering older adults to live authentically regardless of where they are on their cognitive journey. This is a call to action: let’s make better dementia environments for everyone, together.

    Risk Attitude Pt 2: Saying ‘No' to Surplus Safety

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 22, 2021 47:23


    We've chosen to bookend our first season of Shaping Dementia Environments with the topic of ‘Risk Attitude', because it was so fundamental to every conversation we had this season. Something we alluded to in Part 1, and that appears several times in today's episode, is the concept ‘surplus safety' – which takes the approach of applying the most restrictive condition to everyone, as opposed to creating individualized interventions that are tailored to the individual. How do we perceive risk for older adults living with dementia? How can operators push the boundaries to prioritize resident choice and quality of life, rather than putting an over-emphasis on safety above all else? First, we talk to three members of the leadership team of Kendal: Sean Kelly, Marvell Adams, and Steve Bailey. Sean Kelly, President & CEO, joined Kendal in 2008 and took on his current role in 2016. Prior to 2016, while at Kendal, Sean was responsible for fostering a culture of continuous improvement through leading and managing new opportunities for growth and evolution for Kendal. Sean came to Kendal after 10+ years working with development, finance, marketing and operations consultant to senior housing and service providers throughout the United States. Marvell Adams Jr., COO, served as Executive Director/CEO of Kendal's metro Washington, D.C.-area affiliate, Collington, for seven years, before being named The Kendal Corporation's Chief Operating Officer in October 2018. Marvell came to Collington from Rochester, New York, where he was COO/Administrator at The Highlands at Pittsford, a continuing care retirement community affiliated with the University of Rochester Medical Center. Steve Bailey, SVP of New Business and Development, joined Kendal's corporate staff in 2012 as Project Director and has directed major expansion and repositioning projects for several Kendal communities, including Kendal on Hudson and Kendal at Ithaca. He also has served as a key resource for planning and developing new Kendal communities, including development plans for Kendal at Sonoma in northern California in partnership with the San Francisco Zen Center. Steve's experience includes more than 30 years in real estate development and planning. Next, we speak with Tammy Marshall. Tammy is president & CEO of Biophilia Pharma, where she focuses on the healing power between nature and humans. Previously, she served as the first woman Chief Experience Officer in the country for ageing services, the first woman to sit on Thrive Senior Living's vision team, and the first VP of Strategic Planning for one of New York's largest long-term care systems. She previously served as chief experience officer at a New York City-based senior care nonprofit called the New Jewish Home, where she led an effort in boosting person-centered care. Marshall keynotes around the globe on the topics of ageism, woman in leadership, integrative health and civil rights for those living with changing cognitive abilities, sometimes known as Alzheimer's and Dementia. She is known for her published work on leadership, dementia care, designing environments for older adults and strategic planning. Finally, we talk to Kirsten Jacobs, who leads dementia and wellness education strategy at LeadingAge, including enhancing existing external/internal relationships and identifying areas of potential growth. She develops wellness, dementia and related content for conferences and other education efforts, including distance learning. She provides thought leadership around wellness and dementia to various audiences, including speaking/presenting at conferences and delivering technical assistance to members.   Continue the conversation in our LinkedIn group Shaping Dementia Environments: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/9044567/ Learn more about Perkins Eastman insights: https://www.perkinseastman.com/white-papers/

Prior to being appointed Executive Director for the Presbyterian SeniorCare Network Dementia Care Center of Excellence in January 2016, Carrie served for five years as the Administrator for Woodside Place of Oakmont, which opened in 1991 and was one of the nation's first dementia-specific residential community specifically designed to meet the holistic needs of older adults living with Alzheimer's and related dementias.
