Episode Synopsis

Nadine will be long remembered as a faithful volunteer and servant. She was a true friend of Veranda Ministries and a true treasure to everyone who knew her. The best part of this story is listening to Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly share her bond with Nadine as her advocate, EOLD/Dementia Doula. Relationship-based care was in full operation, and there's no doubt that we all can learn from this example of love. This episode also includes part one of Randy’s story, a journey no family wants to take. His treatment in an emergency room and the care he received in a specialized unit are ones no family should have to endure.  Mary Anne's outrage over his care (and lack thereof) is the result of a disheartening and unfortunate commonplace experience of how those living with dementia are treated in some medical facilities and specialized units around the country.  PLWD deserve better care.   www.verandaministries.org
