You can experience what it is like to be in the shoes of someone with dementia at the Virtual Dementia Tours on September 28 in Luxemburg.

Dementia is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, with Alzheimer’s being the most common among older adults.  The Aging and Disability Resource Center of the Lakeshore and Dementia Care Specialist (DCS) will hold Virtual Dementia Tours that will simulate what it might be like to have dementia.  The session will be simulations followed by debriefing.  The tour enables caregivers to experience the physical and mental challenges faced by those with dementia and use it to provide better in-person care.
The VDT will be held at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Luxemburg from 1:00 until 3:30 pm on Wednesday, September 28.

You can call the ADRC of the Lakeshore to register or get more information on the free class at (877) 416-7083.
