Our Director of Nursing, Donna Campbell, reported amazing results about medication reduction with residents inThe Josephine Memory Care Center with the implementation of the behavior based ergonomic program. 

Over the past 8 months, 6 out of 12 residents withAlzheimer’s and/or dementia had a significant reduction with the use pain and behavioral medications, and 3 of them are no longer taking medications for behavior at all.   

All the residents have an increased interest in activities and social interactions with family and other residents.  We believe these results are evidence of the compassion, hard work and commitment of the staff and our behavior based ergonomics program.
