The Virtual Dementia Tour (VDT") is designed to give the participant an up close, hands-on experience that provides critical insight to those caring for people with dementia". When someone is diagnosed with dementia, it affects everyone: family, friends, long term care, hospitals, surrounding community. The VDT, Used internationally since 2001, helps shed light on some of the seemingly inappropriate and at times difficult behaviors exhibited by those with dementia. Experts agree that education and proper training are the best ways to help caregivers to provide better care. The Virtual Dementia Tour hopes to assist in this effort, by giving you an experience that will help you better understand the issues facing both the caregiver and the loved one with dementia". Appreciation of the challenges facing those with dementia results in greater understanding. This increased understanding sets the stage for better care. Thank you for taking the time to experience what living with dementia is like. When we refer to dementia, we are referring to all related disorders, including Alzheinmers disease.
