    66. "A Strange Way" (Behind the Scenes of the Veranda Benefit)

    You can't imagine the prep and detail it takes to pull off an amazing gala event and concert like "A Christmas To Remember" - The Veranda Ministries Benefit every year. The staff, board and volunteers were ready to roll on that December 2nd night. This episode is on location from the women's rest room, because we ALL know, some of the greatest coversations start when women get together, readying themselves before an event. Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly and Sue Duffield candidly and comedicly talk about the value of this extraordinary gathering of musicians, friends, family and those glorious Marketplace baskets! Remember www.verandaministries.org for your end-of-year giving, helping those with dementia and Alzheimer's.

    65. No Wrinkles On My Mind or Spirit! (Debra Talley, Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly & Sue Duffield)

    This enjoyable and spontaneous episode tells the ages-long story of how three very different women can be blessed to share the same bond, banter and beliefs. Debra Talley, Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly and Sue Duffield understand the meaning of significance and purpose in their mature years, but none of that happens without humor and the joy of not taking themselves seriously! The one commonality that they all have is a desire to make a difference in the dementia world.  Also shared on this episode is The Veranda's Annual "A Christmas To Remember" - a benefit concert and Marketplace, taking place at Three Oaks Church, Gallatin, TN on Monday evening, December 2nd, 2025 with doors opening at 5pm.

    64. The ENCORE Episode with Teepa Snow (Talking Hospice and Dementia)

    This ENCORE episode features host Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly and Teepa Snow, discussing honestly about hospice and dementia. Teepa's "The Positive Approach to Care" (PAC) is by far the greatest influence for Mary Anne's vision and work-ethic, otherwise known as "The Veranda Ministries." www.verandaministries.org

    63. Dementia and the Journey in Geri Psych

    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

    62. 21,000 Cups of Water (Nadine's Story)

    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

    61. The Fifth Sparrow (Advocacy for the Forgotten)

    Research tells us how people think about aging, the elderly, and abuse - finds that people very quickly and unconsciously draw a line between older people and the “rest of us.” This mindset isn’t restricted to how we think about the elderly and the problems it creates; it contributes to a range of social issues, including racial and economic discrimination. But why does it seem more prevalent in this particular aging group we call "seniors", no matter the color of their skin? Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly and producer, Sue Duffield, take the word "advocacy" to heart and to a new level. It's time for non-profits, churches and ministries to seriously examine how they treat, care and recognize the elderly in their organizations.  Also mentioned on this episode is the new video release from the Veranda Ministries, "Dementia's Hidden Heroes", available on YouTube - https://youtu.be/lemoJAp8Yos?si=oOpwXPpMhb3N7M7h The amazing story of "The Fifth Sparrow", also mentioned on this episode, is a great reminder of the value each soul has in the kingdom of God, no matter what side of the tracks you're from.

    60. It’s Not All Bad

    The Veranda Ministries truly knows that every caregiver is desperate for any single sign of hope and joy regarding their loved one’s dismal future of a dementia diagnosis. Telling their stories is one way to ensure a message of optimism and encouragement is paramount to everyone. For a loved one whose world is collapsing, this is the best therapy — telling the truth about the disease but loving the individual more, no matter what stage.  Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly and Sue Duffield share personal stories of family along with clients of Veranda Ministries. And while culturally, what isn’t as frequently discussed – if at all – are the bright and deeply emotional experiences of dementia. It’s a challenging disease, often destroying families. Socialization is one, if not THE most important way you can help a loved one. Many family members are fearful and not very comfortable around their family member with dementia, and as a result, tend to stop visits or even abandon them altogether. It’s important to continue finding ways to help them feel loved and socially connected. It doesn’t always have to be all bad.  www.verandaministries.org

    59. The Coat of Love

    Host Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly and producer, Sue Duffield revisit the amazing and healing story of one of Mary Anne's exceptional clients, Martha. It was Martha's dignity that was challenged with incontinence, but to the quick thinking of those around her, she was spared the horror of the embarrassment of losing bodily functions in a public place. One day you may find that someone you care about — a spouse, parent, relative, or close friend — needs help negotiating the very simple daily tasks of life. Perhaps that day has already come. There is so much to learn here in this episode. Caregivers worldwide deal with this kind of thing every day. But understanding that the loved one with a cognitive disability is always forefront, doing whatever it takes to make them comfortable, even using a brand new coat to cover and protect the new seat in a truck, is quite okay. www.theverandaministries.org
