What is Dementia Live
Dementia Live is a powerful yet easy to deliver real-life simulation experience that immerses participants into life with dementia, resulting in a remarkable inside-out understanding of cognitive impairment and sensory change.
How Does It Work?
Participants are outfitted in specialized gear and given a series of tasks to perform within an enclosed "experience" area. The challenges and struggles one faces become very real to the participant because they are experiencing it themselves. This triggers a heightened awareness and understanding of those with dementia. Following the experience, a trained coach meets with them in a unique "empowerment session" where participants obtain valuable tools to improve communications and care processes.
What is the benefit of the Authorized Designation
