When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, it’s easy to feel lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to connect. If you are struggling right now, John Scully’s story is a beautiful reminder that you are not alone - and that meaningful connection is still entirely possible. ❤️

After walking the difficult 16-year road of Alzheimer’s with his mother, John found a profound calling born entirely from his grief. He became one of our hospice volunteers and authored the book Visited Mom Today (published August 2024). Incredibly, John knows that his book and his hospice work never would have happened if his mother hadn’t had Alzheimer’s.

Now, after giving over 70 book talks at churches, synagogues, and senior living communities, John is sharing his insights to help other families who are struggling. His book shows you how to communicate with a person with dementia through heartwarming, real-life stories rather than dry instructions.
