Home Instead Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Edenbridge in conjunction with Training 2 Care are hosting the Virtual Dementia Tour.
Supported by medical research, the experience, which takes place on a state-of-the-art ‘dementia bus’, uses technology to replicate the sensory changes associated with dementia. Participants wear googles, headphones and spiky insoles. They are then asked to perform everyday tasks but with distorted vision, loud noises and sensory overload which recreate what it’s like to have dementia.
