Sharon Ash and Yoland Doley Hunter - How Sunrise helps its residents age in place!

00:00 /

Return guest Sharon Ash was born and raised in Akron, Ohio. She 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! After a brief break, Sharon recently returned to Sunrise at Ivey Ridge as the Director of Sales.

With Sharon on the show today is Executive Director Yolanda Doley Hunter. Sharon met Yolanda in 2005 when they both started working at Sunrise Ivey Ridge. Yolanda is from New Orleans via St. Louis. She holds a Masters of Education in Counseling. She originally joined Sunrise at their community in East Cobb in 2002, and was promoted to Executive Director in the Fayetteville community in August of 2003.

Sunrise at Ivey Ridge is a beautiful community offering both assisted living and memory care in Alpharetta. Sunrise at Ivey Ridge offers beautiful Southern-style housing facility, complete with a rocking chair on the front porch. They are located at 2950 Old Alabama Road. For more information, call Sharon at 770-475-6622, or stop in for a tour!

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.

Bill Abroms company is ABCUS Inc. He is an expert in securing even the most sensitive data from loss or hacking using sophisticated hardware and software solutions. We’ve all seen the embarrassed company and governmental officials stuttering and stammering in front of microphones and being grilled on how it was their company or agency accidentally left 2 million detailed financial records and credit card data laying around on a laptop that was left on a bus., etc.

If they had contact Bill and his company, there would have been no story. The data would have been encrypted to top security standards and the moment the computer was used by an unauthorized person, much like the eponymous destructing tapes in Mission Impossible, the already encrypted content of the computer would be destroyed.

From thumb drives to data centers, from very small companies, attorney offices, medical professional’s clinics and offices, Bill and ABCUS have easily affordable solutions. Given the huge cost of data loss today, no one can afford to not lock down their sensitive information. So call the people Homeland Security and other government agencies have called to secure sensitive data, contact Bill and ABCUS.

You can contact Bill at 770-448-5667 or email babroms@abcusinc.com or on the Web at: www.abcusinc.com

Steve Miller with The Entrepreneur’s Source represents selected quality franchise opportunities. His business and calling is helping people in transition in the Corporate world explore an alternative career path by being their own boss in a franchise. Steve also works with executives who are presently employed but who realize that creating a separate source of income outside their company is critical today.

With employees being almost temporary contractors without even the myth of retiring after a long career in a company remaining, many sensible people are exploring what the franchise business model could do to improve their long term security and income.

Taking a consultative approach is Bill’s approach to working with people he sees. He’s fully aware of what running a business is all about having built and sold a large one of his own and that puts him in the position of being able to walk you through the advantages of a franchise and explain it from an owners perspective.

But he’ll be the first do your homework, don’t rush into the first thing or even the thing you fall in love with He’ll insist you talk to successful franchisees in the franchise you are considering and more importantly, stress how vital it is for you to also talk with the ones who left the system. In short, he’s a pro.

Get in touch with Steve, you’ll find he is no nonsense, corporate in his approach, consultative plus you’ll get the wisdom of one who has years of franchise and business expertise to draw upon.

You can reach Steve at 404-787-5897 or email smiller@EsourceCoach.com or on the Web at: www.theesource.com/SMiller
