Making Dreams Come True with Bob Carr, Second Wind Dreams

A rare Atlanta native, Bob Carr tells us he grew up less than a mile from the Eugeria! Radio Studio!  He attended Sandy Springs High School, attended The University of Georgia, earning a BS degree in Psychology, then served in the US Army at Fort Benning as a Second Lieutenant.

After leaving the military, Bob began a career in the insurance industry.  He spent ten years running his own agency before selling it and founding Executive Adventure, with a mission of encouraging better communication and teamwork in business and corporate organizations.  After nearly three decades, Bob sold Executive Adventure, and started working with senior adults with cognitive impairments.  Having seen the impact on patients and their families first-hand, Bob connected with Second Wind Dreams to help them fulfill their mission of enhancing the quality of seniors’ lives through the fulfillment of dreams and education of families and senior care professionals.

Founded by P.K. Beville in 1997, Second Wind Dreams is a non-profit organization that seeks to experientially educate individuals with respect to what it’s like to live with a cognitive impairment such as is caused by Alzheimer’s disease and others.  The Virtual Dementia Tour provides a tactile experience that inhibits a persons natural motor and cognitive abilities.  After a few minutes in a darkened room, and having been asked to perform simple tasks, the participants then share their experiences with others in a facilitated feedback session.

For our listeners in Atlanta, there will be a Virtual Dementia Tour experience held on January 31 at the Holiday Inn in Roswell, located at 909 Holcomb Bridge Road, from 10 am to 1 pm.  If you would like to register, please call Candice at 678-624-0500, or email her at Candice@secondwind.org.  You may also visit their website at www.secondwind.org.

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.

Kim Joens is a Midwest girl, born and raised in the Heartland in Nebraska and Ohio.  Later she moved east to Pennsylvania, attending Slippery Rock University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Recreation and Resource Management.  She went on to become a park ranger in Coral Springs, Florida for a number of years.  Eventually, she had the opportunity to move back to Atlanta, where she had lived briefly.  This time, she worked for Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation for a number of years, also earning her Masters in Social Work at the University of Georgia.

Kim worked at Gwinnett Medical Center for her internship, then took a full time position.  She began working with the palliative care team there, and felt like she had come home.  As one of her teammates moved on, Kim also found herself with an opportunity to do hospice work full time at Seasons Hospice.  She is a Hospice Care Consultant, and spends her days counseling families on their options, and educating them on the benefits of hospice.  Listen in as she shares her journey, and as she talks about why Seasons Hospice is different!  For more information, feel free to check out their website at www.seasonshospice.org, or call them at (404) 250-4950.

Andrea Accoo is a return guest to Eugeria! Radio.  She was born, raised and educated in New Jersey, attending Bloomfield College to earn her undergraduate degree, and attending Rutgers University to get her Masters in Social Work.  Andrea moved to Atlanta in 1999.  Andrea took a position with Golden Living in 2004, and spent 8 years in the skilled nursing environment.  In 2009, Andrea was awarded the honor of Social Worker of the Year by the Georgia Healthcare Association.  After more than a decade with Golden Living, Andrea decided to accept the position of Life Guidance Director at Atria of Buckhead.  She is primarily responsible for Atria’s Memory Care Community.

Joining Andrea today is Tae Stallsworth.  Tae hails from Mobile, Alabama, attended  Bishop State to get her RN degree, then Springhill College to get her Bachelors degree in Pre Law.  Today, Tae is the Nurse Resident Services Director at Atria.  She is fundamentally responsible for overseeing the well being of every resident in the community.  Andrea tells us that one of the differentiators at Atria is the fact that there is both a social worker and an RN working together to provide the best possible service for each and every resident.
