Take the Virtual Dementia Tour®

Learn more about the Virtual Dementia Tour

Take 20 minutes out of your day to experience The Virtual Dementia Tour®. The Tour simulates the effects of aging and dementia to give families, caregivers, and the general public an opportunity to walk in their shoes. This life-changing experience results in a better understanding of the physical and mental challenges faced by those living with dementia, which empowers us to provide them with better care and support. This FREE community event is open to the public.

Quick facts about the VDT:

• Experienced by more than two million people in 20 countries
• Translated into eight languages
• Used by medical schools to simulate dementia for student learning and overall dementia sensitivity

The DACE® Difference

Learn more about DACE

The need for observable and measurable outcomes in dementia care, especially in the areas of competency, sensitivity, empathy, dignity and respect, is imperative.  The Dementia Aware Competency Evaluation (DACE) is designed to meet that need.  Based on 30 years of research, this approach can be used in any care-giving setting and as a benchmark of caregiver performance over time.
