“Show Me”!  Amy Hentschel is a Show Me Girl!  Born and raised in Missouri, Amy believes that actions speak louder than words.  Drawn to serving seniors at an early age, Amy spent many hours during her high school years volunteering in hospitals and with hospice.  After earning a degree in Communications and Mass Media from the University of Missouri, she took a job with Medicare provider and equipment distributor in Illinois.

After moving to Atlanta and working for a number of years with an assisted living community, Amy began planning a new business that would provide support, advice and resource to the seniors she’d become so attached to.  Senior Provisions is an organization dedicated to assisting seniors and their families in evaluating their needs, and finding solutions to meet those needs, whether in their current home, or in a new environment.  Her services are free to her clients.  She provides expert guidance in the areas of senior living options, adult day programs, skilled nursing options, Alzheimer’s care, non-medical home care, support groups and financial/legal services.

Amy tells us that her business is also her mission.  While she provides high quality professional services, she is also their to minister to the emotional and spiritual needs of her clients.  To that end, she hosts a monthly Caregiver group focused on providing this kind of support and assistance to family caregivers – whether they are hands on with a family member, or supporting from a distance.  Amy’s next Caregiver Meeting will be held this Saturday, February 23, from 10am to 11am, at the Sunrise at Johns Creek located at 11405 Medlock Bridge Road.  Brian Byars, a certified VA claims advisor, will be speaking.  To register for this event, or find out more about Senior Provisions, please call Amy directly at (678) 925-0223, or visit their website at www.myseniorprovisions.com.

Eugeria! Radio had a full studio this morning, with three guests from Gentiva Home Health.  Kristi Sullivan, a Savannah native, UGA grad and licensed clinical social worker, is a return guest.  Kristi is a Home Health Specialist with Gentiva.  Thanks to Kristi for setting up such a great group of guests!  Joining Kristi is Southern California native, Shane Brinkerhoff and “nearly native Georgian” Amna Handley.  Amna is the Area Vice President of Sales, and Shane is the Vice President of Operations for the Georgia/Gulf Coast region.  Join this lively group as they chat about aging in place, wellness, fall prevention and much more.

Though Gentiva is a large company, serving more than 80,000 patients each day, their care is defined by their clinical expertise and the compassion they deliver  – one patient at a time.  Though they tout their training, innovation and focus on outcomes, the main differences isn’t scientific or clinical at all.  At Gentiva, they never forget that we are a company that believes in care that comes from the heart.  For more information, visit Gentiva’s website at www.gentiva.com, or pick up the phone and call them at (770) 527-2174.

BonusRuum – Check out this Innovative Approach to Adding Space for an Aging Parent!

Kennesaw native Chet Tischer began his career in real estate at the age of 14!  It started with Chet cutting a homebuilder neighbor’s lawn.  From there, he began doing odd jobs for the builder, and he never really stopped building homes.

After 25 years as a homebuilder, Chet, like many others found himself having to reinvent his business as the market for new homes evaporated a few years ago.  One day he was sitting around with his wife ruminating about the necessity of adding space to accommodate an aging parent.  Chet was already aware of the growing need for multi-generational living spaces.  Skeptical, at first, Chet set about creating the most complex senior living space he could imagine.  After many iterations, he has created a patented, modular, affordable and accessible living space for seniors or disabled adults that can be installed in a few hours inside a garage, or attached to any existing exterior doorway of your home.  These spaces come furnished with electrical and water hook-ups, heating, air conditioning and even high tech medical monitoring devices. Chet’s brainchild is being made available through his company,  BonusRuum.

Check out this fascinating interview, and look for an on-site broadcast some time in April, when BonusRuum will open up a warehouse in Marietta that will have a model room available for touring!  In the mean time, if you are interested in more information, check out their website at www.bonusruum.com, or call their offices at (770) 480-5676.

Hollie is a rare Georgia native!  She grew up in Monticello, then went to school in Macon.  She started her care in pharmacy, working with bubble packed medications.  This naturally led her to the senior services arena, where she worked in hospice for a number of years.  Nearly a year ago, Hollie took a position at Manor on the Square in Roswell.  When The Principal Group started building a new community in Alpharetta, Hollie was quick to jump on board!

The Benton House of Alpharetta is just about set to open.  Awaiting only an occupational license from the city, they are chomping at the bit to begin serving a growing list of residents that have already signed up to live in the beautiful new community of 55 ground level apartments.  A portion of this community will be designated the Beacon Neighborhood, and will serve the memory impaired.  If you’d like to see the new community, don’t miss their Grand Opening on February 2 from 11am to 1pm.  Those residents that are committed to the Benton House on or before opening day will be part of the Founders Club.  Give them a call to find out what that’s all about!  Or better yet, visit them in person at 762 N. Main Street in Alpharetta.  They can be reached by phone at 678-319-3000.  Hollie tells us that one way to really get a good feel for a community is to stop by unannounced!  Go ahead, put them to the test!
