Dr. Govind Bharwani, Director of Nursing Ergonomics at Nursing Institute of West Central Ohio and Co-Director of Ergonomics at BIE department, College of Engineering, Wright State University, along with Meena Bharwani, a local independent consultant and a graduate of MIT and Cornell, have guided our professionals in dementia care to develop a program that is making an incredible difference in the lives of our residents with dementia. Their tireless efforts have created a renewed synergy concerning research and development in this area of study. Dr. Bharwani and Meena have created a Behavior-Based Ergonomics (BBE) program that utilizes comforting and stimulating interventions for our dementia residents during times of increased confusion and disengagement. St Leonard is blessed to have this opportunity to connect our residents and staff in this innovative program that touches so many lives in a truly person-centered way.
