But how can people be empathetic when they have never experienced firsthand the physical and mental challenges facing those with dementia? Now there is a way.
The Virtual Dementia Tour—a scientifically proven method of building a greater understanding of dementia through the use of patented sensory tools and instruction—is Your Window into Their World.
