Come for a 30-minute session between 1:30pm and 3:30pm.Open yourself to experiencing the world around you in a completely different way and gain a clear perspective into the daily lives of those with dementia. The Virtual Dementia Tour® sensitivity training enables participants to gain a greater understanding of dementia and shift their thinking from fear to action. Join us for this unique experience. No need to RSVP. Just drop by. It takes about 30 minutes.
Sponsored and facilitated by Senior Helpers, the Virtual Dementia Tour® is an individual experience through simulated dementia created for families, organizations and companies seeking to better understand the physical and mental challenges faced by those living with dementia.
After experiencing this sensory training, you will have a greater understanding of the realities of what living with dementia is like. This unique, interactive program has been shown to improve communication and care. Learning to create a positive environment for those with dementia can only come from attempting to walk in their shoes.
The Virtual Dementia Tour was created by Atlanta-based Second Wind Dreams, Inc.®, an international non-profit organization founded by Virtual Dementia Tour author, P.K.
