In this episode, host Debbie Stadtler is joined by Kevin Dean, a security consultant and Air Force Intelligence veteran. They discuss the importance of physical security in long-term and post-acute care facilities. Together, they explore the foundational elements of facility security, including risk assessments, essential policies and procedures, and how to make the most of existing resources. The episode also dives into emerging technologies—like AI and wearable devices—and how they’re reshaping safety strategies. Kevin offers practical insights into how security features can do more than protect—they can also serve as a competitive advantage in today’s care facility landscape.
