Dawn James Joins ClearPath Connections Sales Team
Twenty years of experience working with parents and families in the long-term care industry taught Dawn James some important lessons. First, the absolute need to protect seniors and vulnerable residents. Second, statistics get personal really fast. Third, it’s hard to keep up with new technology, on one hand, while trying to focus on giving quality care on the other.
“What I’ve come to know in my years of healthcare experience, in the LTC setting, is this: 3 out of 5 residents affected by Dementia/Alzheimer’s will practice wandering behavior, as a way of coping with their confusion and restlessness. More than half of those seniors that elope will suffer some type of injury, and possibly even death, if not located within 24 hours. Providing excellent care is intricately linked to understanding your technology…and fully understanding your nurse call/wander management system doesn’t have to be an uphill climb.”
