New Dawn is the culmination of Mr. Daumit’s 25 years of experience developing and operating specialized communities for those with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory impairments. Every detail of New Dawn is based on Mr. Daumit’s extensive experience, knowledge and passion for his residents and their families. Prior to founding New Dawn, Mr. Daumit was the Chairman, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Potomac Group Home Corporation-a successful company that developed and operated assisted living homes for dementia residents.

 

David Daumit has been an advocate for the rights of older adults his entire career and his company’s court case, Potomac Group Home Corporation vs. Montgomery County Department of Health et al. established landmark legal precedence that ultimately allowed elderly residents in assisted living communities across the US to choose to “age-in-place”, in their assisted living homes.

 

David Daumit has always been a staunch supporter of national and local Alzheimer’s associations and was elected to the National Board of the Alzheimer’s Association. In 1990 in conjunction with the greater Washington chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, he developed the first specialized activities program for Alzheimer’s residents. Mr. Daumit also served as an active member of the Board of the Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA).

 

Mr. Daumit has an MS in Gerontology and MA in Religious Education and an MDIV in Theology.

Mrs. Sturtz has seven years of professional experience working in the senior care field, including four years as an executive director. Her interest and involvement in senior care began during her high school years when her grandmother with Alzheimer’s lived with her family. Her experience with her grandmother led her to pursue and attain a BS degree with a concentration in Adult Development from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Mrs. Sturtz's professional background within the senior living profession includes work in adult day care, independent living, low income housing, as well as Alzheimer’s facilities. She is a certified Medication Technician, is trained as an Assisted Living Housing Manager and has dedicated many hours in Alzheimer’s communities as an intern. Prior to joining New Dawn, Mrs. Sturtz was the Executive Director and licensed Assisted Living Manager of an independent and assisted living community.

 

Under her guidance the community received recognition from the State for their work with the Congregate Housing Program for seniors. Mrs. Sturtz has also been involved in the senior community’s fight for rights. In 2006 she successfully testified at the county board to fund more meal programs for seniors in need. She feels “the more we can teach the world about seniors and their needs, the better off we will be in the future. Our seniors are our teachers and we can learn from them everyday if we just open our minds and hearts.”

 

She earned her BS in Human Development with a concentration on adult development at the University of North Carolina Greensboro.
