Beginning

this month, the popular local show "Aging in Georgia" will introduce

a new segment entitled "Travel Time."

The new travel

segment will air once every three monts. The first one will feature the

Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, Tenn.

"Aging

in Georgia" is aired in Fayette County at 4:30 p.m. every Saturday

on channel 19 (AT&T Broadband), and in Coweta County every Monday,

Tuesday and Thursday at 2:30 p.m. and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. on channel

10. The show also airs in south Fulton County.

For almost

four years, the program has offered information pertaining to elderly

adults including living options, in-home care, Medicare, Medicaid elder

law, caregiving tips, long-term care insurance organizations for older

adults, and more. The half-hour show travels to local businesses, attorney's

offices, healthcare facilities, nursing homes to educate residents regarding

options.

"Aging

In Georgia" also serves as an information resource. "Anyone

desiring answers or information on any topic or issue relating to the

age 50 or greater population should not hesitate to contact me at 770-304-0477,"

said host Gina Weathersby, who has a strong background working with seniors.

She has worked as the director for a local bank's senior club, owned a

senior care company, worked for a local adult care facility and is well

respected in the adult care industry.

Some upcoming

guests on the show include the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life

chairs, as well as representatives from Spirituality in Aging and American

Hearing Centers, who will discuss inner ear problems and the results such

as balance problems in older years.

In February

Weathersby's favorite guest, her son Luke, will be featured to share his

collection of military memorabilia and his passion of patriotism, love

for his country and future hopes for his military future.

In the near

future the show will move into another arena. Weathersby will be sponsoring

a travel and social club for the over-50 age group. Seniors will be able

to take advantage of great travel and social opportunities and have the

added benefit of possibly seeing their trip televised on a future "Travel

Time" segment.

Weathersby

hopes to expand the Aging in Georgia show into Gwinnett, DeKalb, and the

remainder of Fulton County in the future. Current sponsors are Wesley

Woods of Newnan-Peachtree City, Beaulieu Convalescent Center, the Sleep

Centers at Newnan Hospital and American Hearing Centers. For sponsorship

information, contact Weathersby at 770-253-3353.
