What did you present on at the conference?
My presentation was based on the expansion of the Managing Dementia with Expertise program (MDE). It was based on the strong resident and family-focused philosophy that this program displays. It is a one of a kind program that supports the care of residents that have complex dementia needs that other traditional long-term care environments are not structured to provide and are unable to do in a safe manner.
What was the best part about representing Bethany at the ACCA conference?
Sharing with industry partners, colleagues, leaders and champions. This allowed me to share the good work with many people that have a passion for the work that we do here at Bethany.
What is your favourite part about working at Bethany?
That we embrace challenges and try to create the best environment for the residents we care for.
What is your personal philosophy?
Treat everyone with dignity and respect. While the work that we do isn’t always easy we still need to remember that we are people first, and we are part of a larger team. By respecting this and everyone in the team I feel that we can get the best out of everyone.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I am a very active person and a family-based individual. I love to spend time with my two boys Ethan and Cole in whatever activity I can, whether that is tennis, volleyball, baseball or just watching a movie. Of course I could not do that without my wife Stacey, and together we really make an effort to put family first in all our decisions.
