Virtual Dementia Tour Experience
Presented By: Always Best Care
Sign up for designated time
The Virtual Dementia Tour Experience (VTDE) is a scientifically proven method of building a greater understanding of dementia through the use of patented sensory tools and instruction based on research. During the VDTE, trained facilitators guide participants through common everyday tasks and exercises while outfitted with patented devices that alter their senses. The experience enables participants the opportunity to “experience” for themselves the physical and cognitive challenges those with dementia face.
