Experiencing Dementia First-hand: The Virtual Dementia Tour with Home Instead
At Home Instead East Hampshire, we believe that understanding dementia is key to providing the best care possible. That’s why we’re excited to share with you the incredible experience we brought to the community this summer—the Virtual Dementia Tour on the Dementia Bus.
We know how challenging it can be to truly understand what a loved one with dementia is going through. That’s why we were thrilled to offer the Virtual Dementia Tour at the Dementia Friendly Events held throughout the year. This immersive experience allowed participants to step into the world of someone living with dementia, giving them a better understanding of the day-to-day challenges faced by their loved ones.
Through sensory simulations, the Virtual Dementia Tour provided a powerful insight into the confusion, frustration, and disorientation that people with dementia often feel. It was an eye-opening experience for everyone who took part, offering a deeper empathy and understanding that we hope will lead to even more compassionate care.
