Take A Walk In Their Shoes | the Virtual Dementia Tour from Second Wind Dreams®

“My mom struggled with dementia for 12 years, but it wasn’t until I spent 8 minutes inside the Virtual Dementia Tour that I truly understood what her world was like.” - Leeza

Years ago, Leeza’s Care Connection became certified to host the Virtual Dementia Tour. It’s a unique experience that can give those caring for someone with dementia insight into their loved ones behaviors, needs, and how to get support.

“The Virtual Dementia Tour temporarily alters participants’ physical and sensory abilities using sensory tools and instruction based on research conducted by P.K. Beville, geriatric specialist and founder of Second Wind Dreams®.” It’s an experience that allows a person to, in a sense, take a walk in their shoes.

We have Virtual Dementia Tours coming up at both our centers soon! If you have questions or would like to RSVP, please give us a call or email us at info@leezascareconnection.org.

Brittany Gore, one of our amazing Public Health AmeriCorps members, who is completing her second year of service with us said, “People leave with more patience, more love, more peace, and more gratitude and I think that is what makes VDT special, it is a new found understanding”. 

Brittany has been helping to facilitate the Virtual Dementia Tours at our Leeza’s Care Connection in Burbank, CA for almost two years and has been both integral to the team and amazed by the experience.
