Care Connection Offers Inside View of Dementia
Care Connection for Aging Services is excited to offer a new, unique opportunity for family and professional caregivers to experience and understand the challenges of a person living with dementia.
Dementia Live™ is an innovative program designed by a team of dementia, sensitivity and awareness, and professional development experts from the nationally recognized AGE-u-cate® Training Institute headquartered in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
Using specialized gear within a safe, experiential setting, Dementia Live™ provides participants an immersive real-life simulation of the daily realities of living with dementia. Participants gain greater awareness and understanding of the constant struggles affecting persons with dementia, fostering more compassionate and effective caregiving.
“Dementia impacts millions of individuals and their families,” said Marilyn Gunter, Care Connection Director of Family Caregiving. “Why not educate yourself about the disease and symptoms so that you can help family, friends and neighbors who might show signs of dementia?”
For more information, including upcoming demonstrations, please contact Marilyn Gunter at 1-800-748-7826. Care Connection can also schedule a time to provide the demonstration to organizations and businesses.
