Posted on

Podcast: Download

Gwen Massey was born and raised in Tyler, Texas. After completing her BSN at the University of Texas at Tyler, Gwen worked as nurse across many different disciplines. After experiencing the benefits of home health and hospice care firsthand with her grandmother, Gwen became a hospice nurse.  After a number of years in hospice nursing, Gwen felt the tug of entrepreneurship, wanting to provide a unique service, filling a need she observed in the senior community.  The result was the genesis of Senior Care Finder and Consultants two years ago. Recognizing that finding the proper services can be a challenge for seniors and their families, Gwen stepped in to fill this need.

With over 30 years of experience as an RN, Gwen assists seniors and their families identify their needs, helping them find the proper care and services to fit those needs. Gwen can be reached by phone at 214-546-1935 or by email at info@theseniorcarefinder.com. You can also visit their website at www.theseniorcarefinder.com.

 

Born, raised and educated in south central Louisiana, Janice Simien has spent a good bit of her career helping seniors as they transition from their own homes to independent and assisted living communities.  She started this work as the result of a friend that invited her to investigate a career helping seniors.  Today Jan is the Community Relations Director for Emeritus at Sandy Springs Place, a memory care community in Sandy Springs.  Emeritus at Sandy Springs Place is a 52 room community with four wings that provide care for residents in each of the three stages of dementia.  Jan tells us that she loves her job because she recognizes that families are delegating a very important role when they trust Emeritus with the care of their loved one.

To arrange a tour of the Emeritus campus, please call Jan at 770-650-8800.  The community is located at 1262 Hightower Trail in Sandy Springs.  You can also check them out on the web here.

Dr. Amanda Mueller, Au.D. grew up in Norman, Oklahoma before moving to Texas to attend Baylor University.  At Baylor, her interest in audiology developed after taking some courses in the field.  She graduated from Baylor and then completed her Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) at the University of Texas at Dallas/Callier Center in 2005. During her training, she researched patient outcomes from humanitarian audiology services provided by ComCareInternational.org.  Dr. Mueller enjoys the science and technology behind the audiology field and strives to provide her patients with the best possible solution.

After practicing in a clinic for 5 years, Dr. Mueller decided to open her own house call practice “Hear at Home” where she provides audiology services in the comfort of her patients’ homes.

To say that Larry Black has a diverse background and set of interests would be an understatement.  Larry began his career in radio broadcasting as a way to pay for school.  He was on of the first broadcasters for ESPN!  He is also an instructor for PKA Full Contact Karate.  Larry went on to a career in information technology with a number of companies.  Then, he tried his hand at retirement.  Not content to collect shells on the beach, he opened a business called “A Computer Partner”.

Larry, as a senior himself, is attuned to the needs of seniors as they relate to computers and internet usage.  He tells Eugeria! that “change” is the largest obstacle that seniors face in becoming computer proficient.  He goes on to say that anyone, no matter their age, can learn to use a computer and the internet.  Larry provides a full range of technology services to seniors, from computer selection and set-up to repair and maintenance in the senior’s home.  For more information, contact Larry at (770) 314-2400, email him at larry@a-computer-partner.com, or visit his website at www.a-computer-partner.com.

Eugeria! Radio chats with Griswold Special Care

Upon graduating with a Masters in Business Administration from Indiana University, Brad Culp would not have predicted that he would end up in the senior homecare industry.  Prior to acquiring the Atlanta Northeast Office of Griswold Special Care, he spent the bulk of his career in management consulting.  About nine years ago, Brad began investigating small businesses to acquire.  After a lengthy search, he and his wife Leasa found an opportunity to combine business and mission, as Ginger O’Shea, the founder of the Atlanta Northeast Office of Griswold Special Care decided to retire.  A year later, Brad opened the Dallas North Office of Griswold Special Care, now managed by Kevin Reitz and Dennie Moore.  Looking back, Brad says, “I love being in this business, making an impact on peoples’ lives every day!”

About five years ago, Brad was introduced to Sam Grass through a mutual acquaintance.  After a number of conversations about the home care business, Brad and Sam decided to team up to expand the coverage of the business to Northern Gwinnett and Forsyth Counties.  Though we try to ignore the fact, Sam was born, raised and educated in West Virginia.  Sam spent 20 years in the managed care industry before determining very deliberately that he wanted to be in the homecare business.  Eugeria! Radio has adopted Sam’s mantra as its closing for every show:  If the youth of this nation is its greatest national resource, then it stands to reason that the seniors of this nation are its greatest national treasure.”  Sam has committed his career to preserving this treasure!
