Visited Mom Today with John D. Scully

What if you could still have meaningful connections with your loved ones—even after an Alzheimer’s diagnosis?

 

On this episode I talk with John D. Scully, author of Visited Mom Today: Conversations through the Lens of Alzheimer's & Dementia.

 

In his book, John shares the secret to connecting with those suffering from Alzheimer's/dementia. He had observed how staff interacted with his mom and the other residents in her memory care unit. He discovered that the connection lies in stepping into their world, instead of reminding them what is no longer possible in this one.

 

John's conversations with dozens of residents will have you laughing out loud, tearing up, and reflecting on your own life experiences.
