Aviary Photo_130216505815755772Growing up in a small town in northeast Arkansas, Carol Hurst was drawn to seniors at an early age, studying gerontology at Arkansas College.  After graduating, Carol worked as a case manager, a legal advisor and a nursing home ombudsman for the State of Arkansas.  Twenty seven years ago, Carol moved to Atlanta and took a job in the insurance and financial services industry.  After a number of years, she began working in the mortgage industry, and stayed there until about five years ago, when the bottom dropped out of that market.  As she began to investigate other career options, she realized that she could combine her recent expertise with her love for seniors by specializing in products that would help seniors safely tap the equity in their home to help pay for their own long term care, and maintain their independence without becoming a burden to their children.

For the last five years, Carol has done nothing but reverse mortgages, now working for Reverse Mortgage USA.  She is not only a knowledgeable provider of reverse mortgages, she is also an educator.  Carol acknowledges that reverse mortgages are not right for everybody, but they can be a lifesaver for some.  Listen in to hear her provide more detail on who might benefit from this opportunity.  To reach Carol directly, call her at (770) 314-0027, send her an email at churst@rmeducator.com, or check out her website at www.reverse-mortgage-usa.com.

MS CEU Card

One of the most critical factors in delivering exceptional care – whether to loved ones, or a patient – is to seek as much knowledge as possible with respect to the loved one’s condition.  For professional caregivers and healthcare workers, continuing education is often a requirement.  Because there is a staggering number of opportunities to get educated, it’s critical to spend your valuable time wisely by picking educational opportunities that are relevant, attainable and practical.

To that end, Griswold Home Care is proud to announce the availability of a series of on-line courses that are both practical and accredited for healthcare professionals for use in meeting their annual CE requirements.  These courses have been designed and developed by the Institute for Professional Care Education, in conjunction with Griswold Home Care.  As an example of unique nature of these courses, consider the first course: The Invisible Side of Multiple Sclerosis.  While there are many courses dealing with MS, this course deals with how to live with MS, and how healthcare extenders (nurses, social workers, family caregivers, friends, etc.) can better understand the psychosocial aspects of the disease.  Click here for more information or call Sam Grass at 678-360-1044, or Brad Culp at 770-329-8196.

Aviary Photo_130197635542692521July is Sandwich Generation Month.  The Sandwich Generation describes those people that are dealing both with aging parents and children still in the home.  While we have spent a good bit of time addressing the “meat” in the sandwich, we have not spent much time discussing the “bread”.  Joshua Rumohr is the Director of Excitement at Ivy Springs Assisted Living Community in in Buford, Georgia.  He is also a recent graduate of the University of North Georgia.  So, that means he’s on of the slices of bread on the sandwich.

Joshua’s degree is in Psychology, with a certificate in Gerontology.  His interest in seniors stems from his participation in the care for his grandfather, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s a number of years ago, and recently passed.  As a member of the younger generation, Joshua tells us that this generation can feel stress from the fact that their parents are spending so much time caring for the grandparents.  Adding to the stress is the fact that he was also asked to participate in the care – sometimes at the expense of his other activities.  Though he often spent Saturday nights caring from his grandparent, Joshua looks back on that time now as precious time with him.  Listen in as Joshua offers additional perspective on being the bread in the sandwich!  In his job at Ivy Springs, Joshua is also able to offer insight into the grandparents perspective

To contact Joshua directly, you can call Ivy Springs at 770-573-9096, email him at josh.rumohr@ivyspringsmanor.com, or stop by their community for a tour at 3177 Gravel Springs Rd.  near the Mall of Georgia in Buford.
