Donny
& Marie Osmond made a dream come true for Betty Williams,
a resident of Silver Ridge Healthcare Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Betty is a huge fan of the siblings and had never seen them in
concert. Thanks to the Harrah's HERO team working in conjunction
with Second Wind Dreams, her dream was fulfilled with VIP treatment.
She not only saw the show, but met the siblings and shared some
precious moments with them.
“The Virtual Dementia Tour (VDT) Family Edition is a must-have for
everyone caring for loved ones suffering from any form and level
of dementia. It’s an easy-to-use kit with everything needed to truly
comprehend and empathize with what it must be like to have your
mind malfunctioning. I wish I’d had this incredible tool when I
cared for my parents (both with early Alzheimer’s which went undiagnosed
for over a year), as I would have been empowered sooner to be a
more compassionate and effective caregiver.” --Jacqueline Marcell, author of “Elder Rage” and host
of the “Coping with Caregiving” radio show
