She completed her undergraduate degree in Recreation Leadership at the University of South Dakota. Following college, Beth worked at the State Hospital in South Dakota, then moved with a friend to Arizona which she now calls home. She has primarily worked in the behavioral health field as a Certified Recreation Therapist, then moved on to supervisory roles including Department Manager, Program Coordinator and Manager, and now Director of Memory Care at Pegasus Landing of Mesa! Beth received her post graduate degree in 2014 when she obtained her Master of Science in Leadership.<\/p><p>Beth certainly is a leader at heart and praises the rest of the leaders at Pegasus Landing of Mesa. \u201cWe have the makings of a tremendous leadership team and we have so much to offer, so I will do whatever my part is to help us continue to grow,\u201d says Beth. \u201cI love this community.\u201d<\/p><h3><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-image wp-image-2723 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/broadway-mesa-village\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2020\/09\/Pegasus-Hero-Beth-Smith-4-300x281.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/pegasus-landing-of-mesa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2020\/09\/Pegasus-Hero-Beth-Smith-4-300x281.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/pegasus-landing-of-mesa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2020\/09\/Pegasus-Hero-Beth-Smith-4-1024x960.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/pegasus-landing-of-mesa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2020\/09\/Pegasus-Hero-Beth-Smith-4-768x720.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/pegasus-landing-of-mesa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2020\/09\/Pegasus-Hero-Beth-Smith-4.jpeg 1387w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 185px) 100vw, 185px\" \/>Why Did She Become Involved in Memory Care?<\/b><\/h3><p>Beth\u2019s mother had Alzheimer\u2019s Disease, which is what inspired her passion to help dementia residents. \u201cWhen I was leaving the acute hospital setting and looking for something different, it is something that fell into my lap,\u201d says Beth. \u201cIt was the best thing ever.\u201d Beth\u2019s background in behavioral health has really helped her from a leadership perspective. \u201cThere are things I will see, and med techs might not be sure how to manage it, but my background in behavioral health de-escalates situations if they are struggling a bit,\u201d says Beth. \u201cI determine what is driving the behavior and address the unmet need, because the behavior is being driven by something. Helping model that, mentor on that, and coach on that has been a benefit for our community.\u201d<\/p><h3><b>How Has She Improved Our Memory Care Program?<\/b><\/h3><p>The level of engagement is what truly makes Pegasus Landing of Mesa\u2019s memory care programming unique. \u201cWe meet the resident where they are at, and we determine how activities can be adapted to meet residents\u2019 individual needs,\u201d says Beth.\u00a0 \u201cWe usually have a daily theme to work into our cognitive group as well,\u201d says Beth. Recently Robin Sharp \u2013 Life Enrichment Partner at our community \u2013 developed a theme based on the beach and the Caribbean. All the art residents created was beach-themed, and all the food the cooking group prepared was inspired by Caribbean dishes. Sensory therapy on beach day incorporated touching sand. The texture of the sand was used in various therapeutic activities to enhance feelings and stimulate residents\u2019 senses.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-image alignright wp-image-1648 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/broadway-mesa-village\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/09\/Pegasus-Senior-Living_68418141-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/pegasus-landing-of-mesa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/09\/Pegasus-Senior-Living_68418141-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/pegasus-landing-of-mesa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/09\/Pegasus-Senior-Living_68418141-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/pegasus-landing-of-mesa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/09\/Pegasus-Senior-Living_68418141-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/pegasus-landing-of-mesa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/09\/Pegasus-Senior-Living_68418141.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Sometimes other senses are provoked using aromatherapy or music. During the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/covid-19-information\/\">COVID-19<\/a> regulations, the award-winning memory care program SingFit is used every day considering entertainers currently cannot perform at the community. Until entertainers can return, SingFit will be held every day.<\/p><p>Despite the coronavirus restrictions, Beth is committed to ensuring memory care residents still receive the social engagement they so critically need. \u201cWe are doing more one-on-one programming with residents in their apartments. Group sizes are a little bit smaller,\u201d says Beth. \u201cOne of our hospice residents has music therapy which happens outside their bedroom window. We are trying to maintain normalcy within the parameters placed to keep residents healthy and safe.\u201d The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/broadway-mesa-village\/dining\/\">dining room<\/a> is still open, but residents sit one at a table. Thankfully, the dining room in Pegasus Landing\u2019s memory care unit is large enough to accommodate all the residents, and it is fantastic that we can socially distance while also avoiding debilitating social isolation as much as possible.<\/p><h3><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-image alignleft wp-image-2720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/broadway-mesa-village\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2020\/09\/Pegasus-Hero-Beth-Smith-10-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/pegasus-landing-of-mesa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2020\/09\/Pegasus-Hero-Beth-Smith-10-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/pegasus-landing-of-mesa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2020\/09\/Pegasus-Hero-Beth-Smith-10.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 185px) 100vw, 185px\" \/>More About Beth<\/b><\/h3><p>In Beth\u2019s free time, she enjoys going to movies and reading mystery books \u2013 Agatha Christie in particular. She is also an avid Harry Potter enthusiast, or fanatic some may say! Beth has been married to her husband Brad for 28 years, and they have a 24-year-old daughter, Emily, who is finishing her field work for her Master of Occupational Therapy. Beth also has a son, Nicholas, who is a senior at Northern Arizona University majoring in biochemistry.
