Dennis Carter of Plymouth recently held a Situational Awareness Seminar at Miller’s Assisted Living Facility.
Situational awareness or situation awareness (SA) is the perception of environmental elements and events with respect to time or space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their future status. Situational awareness is important to everyone – it is important that everyone is aware of their surroundings and the potential hazards they face. It is also important that each individual is looking out for his or her own safety as well as looking out for the safety of their family, friends and co-workers.
Carter discussed the four-color system which provides a framework for moving between the non-aware, or oblivious, state (Condition White) through two intermediate levels (Conditions Yellow and Orange) before getting to the ready-for-action state (Condition Red). Miller’s Campus Administrator, Bryan Zehr opened this educational program up to staff as well as residents.
