Give a brief description on what you would like to discuss on the show.: A largely unknown phenomenon in the geriatric population of loosing their appetite and desire to eat. I plan to research this further in my career at some point to introduce a new syndrome for this population, Geriatric Insensible Starvation.
What makes your company unique?: Wound care and Geriatric nutritional requirements are largely unknown in the medical field and are an area of medicine that is not part of physician nor nursing primary education. This is the focus of my program.
How did you get your start in the industry?: I fell into wound care in 2008 and saw a problem and I am still pursuing it.
How is your business handling the COVID situation?: Because it is online and my business is still a baby, it hasn’t effected us really.
What advice would you give to someone just getting their start in the industry?: Read research, ask questions, and never be ok with not understanding a problem.
What’s your favorite way to get involved in the community?: Facebook has been a big driver form the start. I am slowly getting to more clinicians through offering free education to area home health agencies.

Short Company Description: Specializing in home safety consultations and modifications for the elderly and disabled to promote safety, function, and successful aging in place. My consultations are in-home based and focus on modifying the home to prevent falls in an effort to decrease burden of care on family / friends and risk of having to live in assisted living.
Give a brief description on what you would like to discuss on the show.: Promoting my business and networking with like-minded individuals / referral sources.
What makes your company unique?: I am one of 3 Occupational Therapists in the area who specialize in home safety consultations by applying my 15 years of expert experience helping people remain safe and independent in their home. Many times people consult with a contractor who doesn’t have the clinical understanding of what is needed and just modify whatever the client is concerned with.
How did you get your start in the industry?: 10 years as a home health Occupational Therapist working with the bare minimum of medical equipment supplied by insurance companies.
How is your business handling the COVID situation?: I am fully vaccinated and willing to wear a mask whenever in the home. My consultations do not include touching the client or doing any therapy interventions, just consulting on changes to the home to promote safety.
What advice would you give to someone just getting their start in the industry?: Learn what resources are available and how they can be applied to the situation
What’s your favorite way to get involved in the community?: I like to find ways to relocate resources that promote safety and function from unused sources to locations where they are needed even if they cannot afford my services. I am given and find durable medical equipment at yard sales all the time and love to be able to give that away to people who are in need and cannot afford them.

Short Company Description: We are a family that owns and operates two assisted living facilities in Jacksonville- Autumn Village and Fort Caroline Gardens. Our Mission is to provide a loving home and exceptional care to our family of residents. We provide a wide range of care for our residents, including memory care and limited mental health services. We also provide Adult Daytime Care. We are flexible with payer sources, including private pay, Long Term Care Insurance, Medicaid Waiver, and VA aid and attendance. We work hard to ensure that our residents are able to age in place, partnering with onsite Primary Care and pharmacy, home health services and hospice so that our residents needs can be met in our home. We have the best staff, best managers, and best administrative team in NE Florida. Our loving staff works hard to ensure that we are a home where your family becomes our family.
What makes your company unique?: Our family approach to business puts residents before profit. We strive to make all our decision making go through the filter of “what is best for the resident?” We also are one of the largest privately owned and operated ALFs in Northeast Florida. Our staff loves our residents more than anyone else out there.
How did you get your start in the industry?: Our founder and my mom started in the industry by caring for residents in our own home over 40 years ago. She learned early on that she had a passion and a gift to care for the elderly. So our upbringing was shared with both residents being in our home or us being in the residents’ home. Mornings were spent picking up residents for appointments on the way to school, afternoons were spent at the homes doing homework, practicing piano, sneaking some canned peaches out of the pantry, and entertaining ourselves any way we could. And evenings were often spent waiting on mom to finish her grocery shopping. Mom’s business is not something we appreciated when we were kids and sadly it was not something we were proud of. We didn’t understand the sacrifices she was making to provide a better life for us and for others. So as adults none of us immediately gravitated towards senior care. What I hope I did inherit from mom is her heart to love and serve others. My education and background is actually in church ministry. It wasn’t until around 9 years ago that I realized my heart for ministry could better be utilized in administration than in the pulpit. So I stepped in almost a decade ago to help mom run this large business that she had built… and we have continued to build upon the foundation and dream that she has passed on to us.
How is your business handling the COVID situation?: By balancing both the need for strict precautions with the quality of life that our residents deserve.
What advice would you give to someone just getting their start in the industry?: Make sure your heart is in the right place. There are easier and less stressful ways to make money. If you are considering doing this because you love people, then give us a call. There aren’t enough good places in Jacksonville and we would be happy to help anyone that wants to serve the elderly.
What’s your favorite way to get involved in the community?: First of all I genuinely try to keep my eyes open for opportunities to serve and love. I think that’s what give me life and fulfills my purpose. On top of that, my wife and I have 4 active kids that keep us busy and involved. I’m also a part of a great community of believers at River City Church, a network of business owners in a group called C12, and an awesome group of Crossfitters at CrossFit Jax Beach. My friends and I at all these places lean on each other and build each other up.
