Virtual tour educates staff on dementia empathy
Aiken Standard reporter Larry Wood notes Trinity on Laurens held a virtual dementia tour for staff and community members to simulate daily challenges faced by people with dementia. Participants wore vision distortion goggles gloves and ear coverings to perform tasks while a noise track induced confusion. The aim was to slow communication, provide step by step cues, and reduce negative behaviors by caregivers.
