This week on The Local Take I speak with Michelle Norris of National Church Residences and Dr. Jonathan Flacker from JenCare about the upcoming event Rise'N Shine: A Breakfast to Champion Older Adults taking place on May 29th at 7:30am at the Loudermilk Center in downtown Atlanta.
Ms. Norris shares with us information about National Church Residences including their mission.
The mission of National Church Residences is to provide quality housing and care at affordable prices in communities of caring persons.
We speak about the challenges senior adults face with regards to housing and out of that grew their organization which was founded by a pastor and four church groups.
JenCare Senior Medical Centers is a sponsor for this event. I ask Dr. Flacker why a resource like JenCare in needed. He speaks to seniors having multiple doctors for multiple conditions which sometimes are chronic. This means a senior patient might have to visit with 4 specialists along with their primary care physician. Coordinating prescriptions, medicine interactions and more is left to the patient. At JenCare they provide a team for your care. Everything from accupuncture to exercise to dementia care can be handled in one location.
