Description

The concept of "Dementia Doula" is somewhat new to the community of caregivers, but not new to compassionate expert, Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly. This episode is a celebration of this podcast's first year, but also an anticipatory view ahead into the lives of those who are becoming more aware of how quality end of life should look. With heartfelt truth and wisdom, the Veranda Ministries continues to open doors for families who so desperately need expert wisdom and tips on how to handle their mentally impaired loved ones. These quality minutes on this episode are merely a conversation between good friends (Sue Duffield, producer and host, Mary Anne) who continually support and bring to light the need for understanding and insight when the time comes to place a loved one in a dementia care facility. It's not easy, but knowledge through training and discernment gives the power to overcome a lot of what's ahead for every caregiver. Be sure to invest in the ministry of The Veranda, in Gallatin, TN. The Veranda Ministries is a 501(c)3 ministry. www.verandaministries.org

Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly, the director of the Veranda Ministries in Gallatin, TN, is the host of this conversational journey on aging, care-giving and most of all - loving the elderly. You will learn, laugh, cry and desire to do more to help those who qualify as the "invisible elderly." This bi-monthly podcast will feature some of today's experts on dementia, Alzheimer's, senior advocacy and aging. It's Mary Anne's desire to see Christians and the church be on the forefront of caring and showing respect and dignity to our aging population. She not only preaches it - she lives it. Mary Anne is also the author of the book "Remember For Me" - Life Lessons from Those Living with Dementia. www.theverandaministries.org
