After taking care of his their own grandparents, it became clear to Robert Stark’s family that there was a clear need in Wichita to provide higher quality care for the elderly struggling with dementia.  He is joined by Robert Miller as they share their journey with Don and Ebony to bring more compassionate care to Wichita.  On this episode we discuss: How it all began Being a healthcare hero with no medical background Thinking about a social model, not a business model The family “serial entrepreneur” Being a resource to support and educate What they learned from the Small Business Award Building new resources and capabilities into home care Learn more about ComfortCare Homes:https://comfortcarehomes.comFacebook ProfileTwitter ProfileLinkedIn ProfileWichita is the flagship city of ComfortCare Homes. Founded by the Stark family in 1993 after their experiences caring for their own family members with dementia, the company remains a family business strongly committed to developing models for dementia care that foster compassion and drive innovation.In the process of caring for the Stark grandparents at home, the vision of ComfortCare Homes materialized. The core concept of ComfortCare Homes centers on providing a clear alternative to hospital-like nursing homes by building and remodeling traditional houses to suit the needs of small communities of people living with dementia.ComfortCare Homes understands that clinical care in large impersonal facilities can elevate stress and increase confusion, and that most people suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia respond well to calm, familiar environments. When the Starks opened the first ComfortCare Homes residence in 1993, they began to see their intuitive understandings create meaningful impacts on lives outside of their own family. Before long, ComfortCare Homes acquired several more residential properties throughout Wichita, and in 2014, built the very first advanced dementia care home from the ground up--Founders Crest--using the insights and innovations gleaned from our first twenty years of operations.Wichita has been our home for more than 25 years. In that time, we’ve expanded across the city with nine homes, and across the state of Kansas through licensee partnerships in several other cities. We invite you to discover the wide range of services and unique amenities that we offer our residents.About Doug StarkDoug Stark has served as president of ComfortCare Homes since 1995.

Doug Stark / Robert Miller - ComfortCare Homes

International Tennis Hall of Fame Museum director Doug Stark (The SPHAs: The Life and Times of Basketball's Greatest Jewish Team) joins this week's 'cast for an authoritative exploration of one of his first loves - pro basketball's pioneering Philadelphia SPHAs.   Originally organized in 1918 as a local amateur team by South Philadelphia High School grads Eddie Gottlieb, Harry Passon and Hughie Black - and acronymically named for their early uniform sponsors, the South Philadelphia Hebrew Association - the SPHAs rose from a regional amateur league power in the 1920s to become an early avatar for professional basketball dominance in the 1930s &amp; 40s.   With home games played in the ballroom of Philly's Broadwood Hotel (replete with customary singles dances afterwards), the SPHAs became a sensation in the local Jewish social scene, and soon graduated (under the guidance of Gottlieb) to winning titles in various early pro hoops leagues like the Eastern League and Abe Saperstein's American Basketball League - while beating legendary teams like Boston's Original Celtics and New York's Renaissance Five along the way.  In the ABL alone, the SPHAs captured seven titles in their 13 years of play between 1933-45, and were runners-up twice.   In 1946, the NBA-forerunning Basketball Association of America debuted, and the ABL ceased to be a major league. With Gottlieb establishing the Philadelphia Warriors as his BAA franchise, the SPHAs continued with the minor league ABL and as a touring opponent of the Saperstein's barnstorming Harlem Globetrotters. Gottlieb sold the team in 1950 to former SPHAs star Red Klotz, who changed the name to the Washington Generals.   Support the show by trying one month of BlueChew for FREE (just pay $5 shipping) with promo code GOODSEATS at checkout!
