At Home Instead, we work to make our community better by sharing resources and teaching others. Recently, our owner, Blair Sapeta, along with Helena Morgan from Hospice of the Valley, hosted a Dementia Moments workshop at our home office. This workshop provided an opportunity for our local guests to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by people living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
The Dementia Moments workshop is an 8-minute experience where participants attempt to perform daily tasks, such as buttoning a shirt or counting coins, while wearing gloves, goggles, and headphones blaring background noise. This exercise aims to replicate the emotional struggle of performing daily tasks while dealing with the distorted perceptions and difficulties associated with dementia.
As we strive to provide the best dementia care in Goodyear, AZ, we will continue to promote workshops like Dementia Moments that bring awareness and understanding to people throughout our community.
