Senior Resource Partners

The businesses that make up the Senior Resource Partners team specialize in understanding the needs of the senior community. These businesses have specific expertise and training working with seniors and many offer special discounts or programs. In addition, they sponsor health fairs, senior living showcases and other events in order to bring the newest and best offerings to the community.

This Gwinnett Business Radio show highlights three companies that are part of the Senior Resource Partners group.

Keith Nabb/Affordable Medicare Solutions

Affordable Medicare Solutions is the premier source in North Georgia for Medicare planning. Their staff of seven will educate you on the parts of Medicare, Medicare Supplements & Advantage plans as well as Part D Rx coverage choices. They are experts in senior plans, plans for the disabled, and special needs plans. Their services are always at no charge to you.

They are unbiased and represent all of the major insurers and partners for Medicare plans. They use the Medicare.GOV website to begin a search analysis of your plan choices. Then they narrow that list based on your preferences for providers, access, out of pocket costs and Rx coverage. This expert guidance truly makes a daunting task very easy on the consumer.

Spend a half hour with them each year and you will have the best planning and peace of mind.

FirstLight Home Care provides the best home care, elderly care and senior care. You and your family are special, so it takes a special kind of person to be a FirstLight Home Care caregiver. Compassionate, caring, sincere, experienced and attentive: these are just some the qualities they insist that their home companions possess. They care about the quality of their at-home caregivers because you care enough to invite them into your home — into your life — allowing them to share in all the ups, downs and joyful moments that make your family unique. And that’s a trust FirstLight Home Care doesn’t take lightly. Ever.

Most people prefer to stay in their home, among familiar and comfortable surroundings. That’s why they provide home care services wherever home is – a nursing home, assisted living facility, retirement community or hospice. Providing first-class personal service to help you or a loved one maintain independence and quality of life is always their upmost priority.

Laurie Sossa/Southern Barter Club

Barter (also commonly referred to as “trade”) is a smart and powerful business tool that represents a solution for companies with available inventory, resources or services. By accepting payment in “trade dollars” instead of cash, a business maximizes their efficiency by increasing inventory turnover or billable hours. Southern Barter Club (SBC) provides businesses with an alternate business community and parallel economy using a global trade currency. It is a currency that complements (rather than replaces) income from cash paying clients.

Members are free to spend earned trade dollars on whatever they want or need from thousands of businesses within their worldwide network. This model of round robin trading eliminates the challenge of finding a direct trading partner that is interested in the specific goods or services that you have to offer and enables you to trade efficiently and conveniently.

Angie Reese/Accurate Protection

Accurate Protection is an independent insurance agency specializing in business insurance. Safeguarding your company from potential losses requires more than just the purchase of an insurance policy. They invest themselves and their time to understand your business and assist you with developing strategies that lower your overall business risk as well as your cost of insurance over an extended period of time. From your first meeting with them and throughout your interactions, you will see that they strive to consistently go beyond the expected standard routine and deliver results that exceed your expectations.

Workers’ compensation is a fixed commodity and a controllable expense. Their job is to ensure that you do not pay a dime more than you have to for coverage. Accurate Protection will provide you with money-saving strategies that reduce your bottom line. They understand how the system really works. Let them teach you how to control your workers’ compensation program, instead of allowing it to control you.
