April 2018 Dementia Live™ Training Session
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. It’s a tool in the powerful arena of sensitivity awareness training being used for the booming number of direct care staff, family caregivers, healthcare professionals, and college and university students.
As a certified Dementia Live agency, Westborough-based Right at Home will lead this unique training, which will provide each participant with a hands-on experience that will educate them about the challenges and struggles of a person living with dementia.
Using specialized gear within a safe, experiential setting, Dementia Live™ gives participants a real-life simulation of what it’s like to live with dementia. Participants gain greater awareness, understanding and a stronger appreciation of the constant struggles (24/7) affecting persons with dementia.
The training is free, but pre-registration is required. To pre-register for the Dementia Live™ experience, call the Hopedale Senior Center at 508-634-2008. Information about Dementia Live™ and other training programs offered by AGE-u-cate® Training Institute is available at www.AGEucate.com.
