Listen "63. Dementia and the Journey in Geri Psych"
Episode Synopsis
This is part two continuing with the true story about a remarkable man Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly cared for, for almost two years. She briefly discussed him in episode 62, finishing the story today. Randy’s sad journey and experience into a geriatric psych unit is not rare. Mary Anne has a large box of files documented with stories just like Randy's. Some geri psych units have good outcomes, but "good" has not been the Veranda's experience with their clients in some geri psych programs. Better skills through "Relationship-Based Care" and training to combat behaviors is the right thing to do. Residents of Tennessee need to stand up for those dying of inappropriate care, especially in the field of dementia care. www.verandaministries.org
