Ara Sayabalian, Ed.D
About
Ara Sayabalian, Ed.D. focuses on continence care, infection control, and related clinical issues affecting older adults in assisted living and memory care settings. His published work, appearing in the journal Geriatric Nursing, addresses a range of challenges common in long-term care environments, including urinary incontinence, urinary tract infections, and their connection to fall risk among cognitively impaired residents. Additional publications examine antibiotic stewardship in the context of symptomatic UTI management, infection control protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the broader impact of incontinence on residents, staff, and facility operations. A more recent article examines the implications of artificial intelligence adoption in assisted living and memory care communities.
With eight peer-reviewed publications concentrated in geriatric and long-term care nursing topics, Dr. Sayabalian has developed substantive expertise in the clinical and operational dimensions of continence management across assisted living populations. His work reflects particular attention to the intersection of cognitive impairment, incontinence, and infection risk in residential care settings.
