PRLog (Press Release) - Jun. 28, 2012 - Austin, TX June 28, 2012 Established in June 2011, the Greater Austin Senior Alliance was created in order to provide a network of services specifically designed for seniors in the community services including home health, hospice, elder law services, real estate and move management, senior placement, funeral services, durable medical equipment, veteran’s & Medicaid planning, financial planning, pharmacy services and much more.

The group is led by Alliance Manager, Rhone McCall, owner of BrightStar Care who originally brought together these businesses to help seniors and their families easily locate necessary services in one place. “We saw that there was a need in the community to be able to easily and more efficiently provide services for seniors and their families. We saw that we could work together to fill that need.”

The mission of the Greater Austin Senior Alliance is to provide seniors in the community easy access to a diverse array of services and products while upholding a sense of professionalism and integrity among its members and the seniors we serve.
