This session, presented by Senior Helpers Homecare, will feature the internationally known Virtual Dementia Tour® (VDT), an evidence-based program simulating changes associated with cognitive decline. The VDT® is an immersion experience simulation of dementia created to teach people about the physical and mental challenges facing those living with dementia. The VDT® both helps people caring for those with dementia provide better care and offers hope to caregivers, providing tips and tools necessary to create an environment that supports the needs of those with the disease.
