Virtual Dementia
Did You Know? 83% of dementia care happens in the home, but most families are unaware of the challenges and how to overcome them.
The Tour is conducted in a home like setting and help caregivers and friends and neighbors understand a little more about what is like to live with dementia. Sensory props are provided to those experiencing the guided tour with the goal to create awareness and compassion for those living with and caring for someone with an impairment. A debrief session is one on one with the social worker to share feedback and answer questions.
