Senior Salute Radio brings timely information to leading edge Boomers and Seniors about issues involving care-giving and aging. Learn from both professionals and regular people going through the process with their families. Each week we will also Salute an incredible Senior.

Senior Salute Radio is presented by The Elder & Disability Law Firm of Victoria L. Collier.

Special Guests:

Mandy Merkel/Senior Resource Consulting

Founder and owner Mandy Merkel is a licensed speech pathologist and certified professional geriatric care manager with over 30 years of experience in the rehabilitation and long term care arena. Services range from in depth assessment of current health and housing status, recommendations for long term care options, assistance with relocation from home to alternative housing options, liaison with medical and facility staff, ongoing care management and monitoring, and elder mediation services.

Lewis Mann/Atlanta Home Care Partners (AHCP)

Atlanta Home Care Partners (AHCP) is a private duty non-medical home care agency that employs certified nursing assistants to provide one-on-one care to families so their loved ones can age in place gracefully and with peace of mind.

Christin Whittington/Energy Dancing in Balance Reflexology & Reiki

Energy Dancing in Balance was founded in 2009. It is dedicated to using energy healing to help your body de-stress, relax and relieve pain. Reflexology, Reiki, and other modalities are each just a vehicle because, in fact, the body heals itself.

Reflexology is like a foot massage — but better! Pressing on reflex areas in the feet stimulates the corresponding organs, glands and tissues located throughout the body. This promotes blood flow, moves lymph (the body’s natural cleaning mechanism), and creates deep relaxation. (There are also reflex points on the hands and ears.)

Reiki (“Divine Energy”) is a Japanese technique of “laying on hands” to reduce stress, enable relaxation and promote healing. Reiki affects energy fields that surround and penetrate the human body, and helps restore the body’s natural, balanced energy flow. (“Ki” is the Japanese form of “Chi” — the Chinese word for “energy.”)

Both these healing modalities can help lower your stress level and your blood pressure, reduce pain, and relieve anxiety.

Today’s Senior Salute goes to Helen Whittington for her independence and dedication to Aging in Place.

Susan Boland Butts/Hi-Hope Service Center

Hi-Hope Service Center provides services to adults with developmental disabilities in Gwinnett County. Over 50 years ago the parents of six young students from Gwinnett County founded one of the first organizations in Georgia to teach children with intellectual disabilities. The Hi-Hope Service Center, formerly known as Gwinnett County Association for Retarded Citizens, was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation in 1960. Under the capable leadership of Vinie Lowry, and support from many parents and the greater Gwinnett community, construction of a special needs school was completed in 1970. In the late 1990s when all student programs, including the pre-school program, were integrated into the public schools, Hi-Hope successfully transitioned to an organization supporting developmentally disabled adults. Currently, Hi-Hope supports 108 individuals through its weekday community access, employment and residential group home programs.

Pat Baker/Gwinnett County Health and Human Services

Honor Air sends 60 WWII Veterans to Washington DC

00:00 /

Gene Beckham is a native of Perry, Georgia. He is the owner of Business Furniture Services, Inc. in Marietta. Long active in his community, Gene is a past president of the Roswell Rotary Club. As he was passing the torch to the next president in 2008, he was looking for a signature project for the incoming president. At this time, Gene became aware of the Honor Flight Network. Drawn to honoring our veterans and their sacrifices for our freedom, Gene immediately knew this was something in which he wanted to be involved.

The Honor Flight Network provides WWII veterans an opportunity to make an all expenses paid trip to Washington, DC to visit the WWII Memorial. Since the first trip in 2008, the Roswell Rotary Club has created Honor Air to continue to provide opportunities for WWII veterans to take this trip, and be honored for their service to our country. Four trips have been completed, with a fifth scheduled for October 10, 2012. This year’s trip has been made possible by Coldwell Banker and their local Atlanta-based agents for up to 60 veterans. Listen as Gene tells how this “one time project” has become an ongoing initiative for the Roswell Rotary Club!

For more information about this terrific trip to honor our WWII veterans or to make a donation, click here, send an email to rrhonorair@gmail.com, or call (678) 318-3647. Contact Gene directly at (770) 971-5424, email him at gene@bfsga.com, or visit his website at www.bfsga.com.
