Home Instead of Goodyear is excited to partner with Hospice of the Valley for the "Understanding Dementia" workshop on Tuesday, August 13th from 12-1 pm. This insightful event will be held at the Home Instead office at 250 N Litchfield Rd, Suite 250. Don't miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of dementia and how it impacts daily life.
Hospice of the Valley's "Dementia Moments" workshop provides an 8-minute experience that simulates the daily challenges faced by individuals living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. Participants will perform tasks like buttoning a shirt or counting coins while wearing gloves, goggles, and headphones that blare background noise. This setup aims to replicate the emotional experience of someone with dementia, helping participants understand the frustration and confusion they often face. After the exercise, attendees will share their thoughts and feelings, discuss strategies that might have made the tasks easier, and learn approaches to reduce the distress of people living with dementia.
