At Right at Home Guildford and Farnham, we are proud to specialise in high quality person-centred Dementia care as one of our homecare services Among our dedicated team, we have several trained Dementia Champions, including our dementia lead Adriana.
We introduced the experience to help families, friends, caregivers, and community members gain a deeper understanding of what it's like to live with dementia. This insightful session is run by Adriana, where she can also help with any questions you may have about caring for a loved one living with dementia.
The Dementia Experience
The Dementia Experience is truly eye-opening. It gives participants an opportunity to step into the shoes of someone living with dementia and experience first-hand the physical and sensory challenges they face every day. Simple tasks that we often take for granted, like pairing socks or setting a table, suddenly become much more difficult - helping you appreciate just how demanding everyday life can become for those with dementia.
This immersive session encourages a deeper sense of patience and understanding. It’s important to remember that dementia is not one-size-fits-all as there are over 400 different types, each affecting individuals in unique ways.
Often described as “invigorating, disorientating, and moving,” the session is both engaging and insightful... It’s a valuable step towards a better understanding of dementia and how to support those living with it.
