Gentleway Systems LLC is a healthcare-focused training organization dedicated to preventing escalation, reducing restraint, and promoting trauma-informed crisis response in clinical environments.

Founded by Clifford Cartagena, BSN RN, Gentleway Systems integrates neuroscience, therapeutic communication, and practical safety strategy into a structured framework known as PMAB-TGS (Prevention and Management of Assaultive Behaviors – The Gentleway System).

Our mission is simple:

Prevent escalation.
Protect patients.
Protect healthcare professionals.

Gentleway Systems provides professional development training for:

• Nurses (RN/LPN)
• Behavioral Health Technicians
• CNAs and direct care staff
• Memory care teams
• Psychiatric and acute care units
• Healthcare facilities seeking restraint-reduction strategies

Our approach emphasizes:

• Diagnosis-based de-escalation
• Understanding unmet needs behind behavior
• Therapeutic communication and “Yes Culture”
• Trauma-informed safety awareness
• Early intervention to prevent restraint and seclusion

Unlike traditional control-based models, Gentleway focuses on prevention, dignity, and clinical reasoning before crisis escalation occurs.

Clifford Cartagena is an ADHS-Approved Memory Care Services Instructor and Co-Founder of Arizona Care Horizon Institute. With over 20 years of nursing experience across psychiatric and medical settings, he brings real-world clinical insight into every training session.

Gentleway Systems LLC is committed to elevating the standard of crisis response in healthcare — through education, structure, and compassionate leadership.
