She chose to work for Comfort Keepers in November, 2015 because they have a mission that aligns with Meg’s core values. Prior to joining Comfort Keepers, Meg helped structure a program that utilizes Comfort Keepers at the local hospital called the Patient Safety Technician Program. This program puts caretakers called “Patient Safety Technicians” to work caring for at-risk patients when hospital staff is short. These caretakers are specially trained in the needs of the patients who they work with, which usually include fall- and suicide-risk patients. As a result of the program, the hospital saw a reduction in falls and has been able to better utilize its own staff. “It’s a win-win for everyone,” Meg says.
