Our guest, Erica Jones is the Regional Director of Admissions for Southern HealthCare Management, LLC and Erica just happens to know a thing or two about Independent Living, Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing! Erica understands the process from the clients perspective, and knows what questions to ask from hospital discharge to rehabilitation to placement. As Caregivers, we are always looking for trusted resources to help us make sound decisions; Erica Jones is one of those trusted resources! Listen in and learn how Erica is creating “Healing Ties” all around us!
You Might Know Me As The Bow Tie Guy - "Wearing a bow tie is like wearing two smiles."
When people ask me, "why did you create the Whole Care Network"... I always come back to our caregiving experience and how fortunate I was to find resources that helped me and my partner Richard Schiffer manage our caregiving journey. Every caregiver has a story; through our stories, we find validation, resources, and respite to help manage our caregiving day.
We were fortunate to have our story chronicled in a 2015 Pulitzer Prize-nominated 3-part story, “In Sickness and In Health: A Couple’s Final Journey,” which told our journey of caregiving. The story told of the challenges LGBT partners have in dealing with the medical and legal system, but it also told of the love and joy my partner Richard's last years had on our relationship.
