Experience the Virtual Dementia Bus at Our Parish
On Thursday 3rd April, Haydon Wick Parish Council hosted the Virtual Dementia Bus – a truly eye-opening experience that simulates what it’s like for a person to live with dementia. This unique program allows participants to step into the shoes of those affected by this condition, providing invaluable insight that words alone cannot convey.
By temporarily altering sensory perception and cognitive function, the Virtual Dementia Bus helps companions, and professionals working alongside people living with Dementia develop a greater empathy and understanding.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this important learning opportunity. These experiences help us build a more compassionate and supportive community for those living with dementia and their loved ones.
