'Virtual Dementia Experience' to visit

Dovida, the provider of in-home care service, will be hosting a unique 'Virtual Dementia Tour' experience in Tullamore on Thursday next, February 19.

This worldwide, scientifically and medically proven method of giving a person with a healthy brain an experience of what dementia might be like, allows people to enter the world of the person and understand which simple changes need to be made to their practice and environment to really improve lives of people with dementia.

This experience is taking place between 10am and 4pm in the car park of the Bridge Shopping Centre, Tullamore. It is a 15-20 minute experience which allows users a chance to take part as well as ask the trainer any questions they may have. Family carers, caregivers and anyone with an interest in understanding more about dementia are invited to this free, immersive event.
