The role as a campus administrator, part of the Clement Manor executive team, is typically occupied by someone with more than 30 years of experience. But at just 28 years old, Carly Loewus monitors census status and CDC policies, provides input to the strategic plan and budget and fills in for shifts when staffing is needed at the Greenfield senior living community.
She leads the regulatory inspection process, preparing staff and all related policies and procedures, leading Clement Manor to a deficiency-free survey result. She also spent a year preparing the facility for a Joint Commission accreditation for the assisted living area.
After only the first visit from The Joint Commission, Clement Manor received the Gold Seal Accreditation, one of the first facilities to do so in Wisconsin, and one of the highest-rated facilities in Wisconsin, according to Natalie Strade, director of marketing at Clement Manor.
Loewus also created a staff training program for all new employees, designed to help them understand the world of dementia. She uses a virtual reality experience, in which employees have tunnel vision with goggles, hearing impairments with headphones and dexterity problems using their hands.
