Are you caregiving for an older adult living with Alzheimer’s or dementia? In your work, do you provide care for patients with dementia? Have you ever wondered what it is like to live with dementia? Now you can. The Virtual Dementia Tour (VDT), a product of Second Wind Dreams, is a powerful simulation that allows participants to experience the life of someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or other related dementias. 

VDT uses an in-person, evidence-based method that helps caregivers gain an understanding and build a sensitivity to the needs of those living with dementia. Using sensory tools and instruction that alter your senses to mimic the various manifestations of dementia, you will be guided through common everyday tasks and exercises. Register for this unique workshop and gain understanding of the physical and cognitive challenges those with dementia face.
