Hands-on experience provides glimpse into life with Alzheimer’s, dementia
The most passionate care is born of empathy. Bonita Springs-based franchisor
Oasis Senior Advisors is helping caregivers and loved ones of Alzheimer’s
Disease and dementia sufferers gain a better understanding of those conditions
so they can provide more compassionate help. Oasis is inviting the public
to participate in a no-cost educational Virtual Dementia Tour on Friday,
Jan. 25 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at Landmark Hospital in North Naples. Call
Landmark Hospital at 239-529-1800 to reserve a space.
“Once you’ve gone on the Virtual Dementia Tour, you’ll
never think of Alzheimer’s or dementia the same way,” Oasis
Senior Advisors CEO Tim Evankovich said. “It’s powerful and
eye-opening, and I urge everyone to take part.”
The Virtual Dementia Tour is a one-of-a-kind sensory experience that provides
critical insight into what it’s like to live with dementia and related
disorders, including Alzheimer’s. Tour participants wear gloves
that impair the use of their hands, headphones that affect their hearing,
and glasses that blur their vision. They’re asked to perform common
tasks that are much more difficult than they otherwise would be to simulate
side effects of memory loss disorders.
“Landmark Hospital is honored to participate with Oasis Senior Advisors
in hosting the Virtual Dementia Tour,” said Susan Bailey, CEO of
Landmark Hospital of Southwest Florida. “As Landmark utilizes an
interdisciplinary team approach to care, with a focus of regaining quality
of life, we are privileged to support fellow caregivers and healthcare
providers alike in understanding and advancing the treatment of this disease.”
