"Betsy Brawley is a health design professional who 'gets it' about aging in place and living with chronic disease, physical limitations, sensory loss and memory disorders. Over an impressive career, she has been a passionate advocate for culture change in long-term care and for people living with disabilities who expect quality of life to be about more than hands-on care. She invested time in observing how people live in a variety of settings, testing creative environmental adaptations, and genuinely listening to responses of residents and staff trying to live and work together in residential and health care settings."
