Sarah Biehl, Director of Excitement for Ivy Springs Manor, has been on Eugeria! Radio a record six times!  In recognition of this achievement, the show has been renamed The Sarah Biehl Show for the rest of this week!  Though an Illinois native, Sarah got to Atlanta as quick as she could.  As always, she is quick to point out that she still can’t believe she actually gets paid to play!

Sarah is joined today by Courtney Legg, Executive Director at Ivy Springs Manor.  Courtney is also an Illinois native, having moved to Georgia in 1993.  After attending Valdosta State University, she worked in a variety of positions before she found her home in the Senior Living field.  She worked for a large national Assisted Living company for a number of years, when she was recruited by Thrive Senior Living to help open a new, high end community in Buford.  She has quickly moved to make Ivy Springs Manor one of the premier Senior Living addresses in the northern part of the Atlanta metro area.  Ivy Springs Manor has 77 luxurious units, 23 of which serve the memory impaired community.  Stop in for a tour at 3177 Gravel Springs Road in Buford (just behind the Mall of Georgia), call them at (770) 573-9096, or visit them on the web at www.ivyspringsmanor.com.

We want to thank Griswold Home Care for sponsoring today’s show.  Griswold Home Care has been a preferred provider of high quality, affordable in-home senior care in Atlanta for 20 years.

Born and raised in Akron, Ohio, Sharon Ash began her career working in the family business.  She tells us that her grandfather opened a restaurant nearly 70 years ago, and that only family had ever worked there!  She also noted that once you were tall enough to see over the counter, you were old enough to work!

Sharon followed her husband to Atlanta 18 years ago.  After missing the closeness of her family relationships for a number of years, Sharon found a surrogate family in the senior community when she took her first position at an assisted living community as an Activities Director.  Now, ten years later, she still feels like the senior community provides her with a surrogate family!  Through the Gwinnett Senior Provider Network, Sharon met April Watson, the Executive Director at Eastside Gardens.  As a result of that relationship, Sharon was able to get a position at Northlake Gardens, a sister community, as a Retirement Counselor.

Northlake Gardens in an assisted living community in Tucker with 66 suites, 14 of which are part of their memory care community.  Sharon tells us that the Northlake Gardens difference is their “whole home” approach and their personal interactions with their residents and families.  For more information about Northlake Gardens, call Sharon at (770) 934-0034, or stop in for a tour at 1300 Montreal Rd in Tucker!

An Atlanta native, Raquel Bustos started her career in administration and corporate meeting planning.  Though she was good at it, this was clearly not her life’s work.  As she looked to do something that had a more significant impact on people, she landed a job as an Activities Director at a local assisted living.   Music played a big role in Raquel’s childhood, so it was only natural that she brought music to her work as an Activities Director.  She liked singing so much, she decided to perform on a broader scale.  For a number of years she performed in more than 75 senior centers, assisted and independent living facilities.  While she loves to perform, even more, she loves to take her audience on a trip down memory lane, getting the audience to perform with her.

About a year ago, Raquel started working with Cameron Hall Assisted Living on a part time basis as a Community Outreach Director.  This past September, she began working there on a full-time basis.  Cameron Hall is an family-owned and operated community with 94 units, 22 of which are memory care units.  Raquel loves the intimate, family environment so much, that she has her own mother staying there!

In addition to her work with Cameron Hall, Raquel has also gotten involved in delivering the Virtual Dementia Tour, developed by PK Beville and Second Wind Dreams.  The Virtual Dementia Tour provides a tactile experience for professional and family caregivers to get a first hand look at what their loved ones go through every day.  Raquel and Cameron Hall offer this training on a regular basis, and will also bring the Tour to other locations.  For more information, or for a tour of Cameron Hall, call Raquel directly at (770) 720-0290, or stop by the community at 240 Marietta Highway  Canton, GA 30114.
