Staffing Issues And Resolutions For Senior Services
Ron Bowen, Executive Director at The Pines at Hilton Head a WindRiver
Ron Bowen started his career in Healthcare in the late 1980’s after graduating from college with a BA in Mass Communication/Business. He found his passion working with the Older Adult population specifically those afflicted with Alzheimer’s/Dementia. Ron has a Master’s in Human Development and Gerontology specializing in dementia.
Ron’s philosophy and success have been incorporating Aging Theories into our knowledge of Alzheimer’s and other related dementias. Even though some diseases can change personality, the older adults he has dealt with have had a lifetime of being themselves. Knowing a person’s past personality, passions, triggers, and fears will better equip our caregivers to deal with behaviors and to gain trust with the individual we are serving.
Taking the concept of Emotional Intelligence, Ron believes we should be teaching our caregivers to “Read the Room” before approaching someone with dementia. Once caregivers learn to “Read the Room,” we can teach the next approach which is gaining trust. Ron is currently the Executive Director at Pines at Hilton Head.
