We’re proud to share that Sue Verdegem, CEO of United Zion Retirement Community, was recently featured on the Raising Tech, Powered by Parasol Alliance podcast alongside Evon Bergey, COO of Landis Communities. Hosted by Amber Bardon, CEO of Parasol Alliance, the episode explores Wall-less Dementia Care—a forward-thinking model that replaces traditional locked dementia units with inclusive, autonomy-driven environments.
Sue discusses why United Zion Retirement Community has never used locked units, how we balance safety and independence, and the importance of training all team members in person-centered dementia care.
