Dementia Care and Virtual Reality
Updated: 12 minutes ago
Care Opportunities With Virtual Reality
Jeannine Forrest joins PJ Ware and Susan Limongelli of NRG VR Journeys to discuss virtual reality and its potential to create meaningful experiences and connections for people living with Dementia.
It is just one example of the people, programs, research, ideas, and experiences that Dementia Unplugged: Care Conversations will continue to explore.
About Dementia Unplugged™: Care Conversations
Real people. Real experiences. Real care conversations about Dementia. Dementia Society of America® brings us Dementia Unplugged™: Care Conversations, a series created to listen, learn, and explore the many different experiences that make up the Dementia care community.
Exploring New Possibilities in Dementia Care
Led by Dr. Jeannine Forrest, a Dementia care expert and member of the Dementia Society of America Advisory Council, these conversations go beyond prepared presentations and traditional interviews. Instead, Jeannine sits down with people whose lives and work are intertwined with Dementia—and simply starts a conversation.
Listening to the Dementia Care Community
There is no single Dementia experience. Through Care Conversations, Jeannine will speak with a wide variety of voices from across the Dementia community, including:
Care partners and family members sharing their personal experiences
Professionals developing new approaches to Dementia care
Researchers discussing emerging research and findings
Organizations introducing innovative programs and resources
Individuals bringing new ideas, perspectives, and lived experiences to the conversation
Some conversations may introduce something new. Others may ask difficult questions. And sometimes, the most important thing is simply giving someone the opportunity to tell their story.
The goal is to listen, ask questions, learn from one another, and help more people better understand the many sides of Dementia.
Join the Dementia Care Conversation
Whether Dementia has touched your life personally, professionally, or you simply want to learn more, we invite you to listen along.
Every experience can teach us something. Every question can lead to greater understanding. And every conversation can help us all Know Dementia® a little better.
