Our Host, Lori La Bey talks with Amber Gonion who is a wife, mom of 5, and step-mom of 2. She and her husband Rick are the proud owners of Atlas Villas Memory Care located in Centerville, Minnesota. Like so many people Amber and Rick were personally touched by dementia in their own family. Amber’s grandparents, Jack and Colleen Long, both lived with dementia in their later years. Rick and Amber were disappointed with what was available in memory care and so they researched and designed their own community, with some fantastic features we will be talking about today.
