Today’s bonus episode continues the conversation Max had with Carrie Chiusano of Presbyterian SeniorCare. She speaks to an experience she had several years ago with a surveyor writing a citation for what she considered a very normal resident experience, and how she and others worked together to resolve the citation and encourage a sense of family in their community. Carrie has 36 years of long-term care experience with Presbyterian SeniorCare Network, helping to shape and implement the Woodside Place philosophy of specialty care for persons living with dementia. 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. Carrie is responsible for the integration of dementia care services across the various settings that comprise the Network as well as the family caregivers coping with the disease.
