Hospice of the Valley’s Dementia Care and Education Campus, located at 3811 N. 44th St., will host Dementia Experience and Education Saturday, April 11, and Saturday, May 9, 9 a.m. to noon, both days.
This interactive presentation features an 8-minute experience that presses participants to perform everyday tasks as if they were living with cognitive impairment. This simulation will be followed by a general review of the most common types of dementia and how progressive brain changes impact thinking, functioning and behaviors. Participants will then explore improvisation techniques, sensory experiences and other person-centered approaches that optimize meaningful connections with the person living with dementia.
Limited seating is available and registration is required. Send an email to events@dementiacampus.org or call 602-767-8300. Find additional information at www.dementiacampus.org.
