The Dementia Journey
It can be difficult to truly comprehend what someone living with dementia experiences day-to-day, and this ultimately compromises how we approach and respond to them.
Our unique Dementia Journey experience allows participants to briefly step into the shoes of someone living with dementia. In this live simulation, participants’ senses are safely altered to experience the challenges someone with dementia faces in everyday tasks. Through the experience, participants grow in their understanding and empathy, allowing them to become even better caregivers.
