With someone in the world developing dementia every three seconds, Door County Medical Center is allowing you to see what it would be like if you or someone you love received the diagnosis. DEMENTIA Live by Age-u-cate is a hands-on experience of cognitive impairment by placing special glasses and headphones on them and making them do everyday tasks. The hospital hosted its first of two sessions last week at the Sister Bay Rehab Center, and Christine Wisniewski says participants received a newfound appreciation for what dementia patients and their caregivers deal with every day.
Door County Medical Center and its partner, the ADRC of Door County, will offer the simulation again on January 31st at the Sister Bay Rehab Center. You can click here or call 920-746-3504 to schedule your opportunity to go through the 30-minute simulation.
