About this event

We've all heard of dementia, but do we truly understand it?

Dementia Live is a high impact simulation experience that immerses participants into life with dementia resulting in a deeper understanding of what it's like to live with cognitive impairment and sensory change.

In a safe and controlled environment, you may participate or simply observe others go through Dementia Live immersive simulation.

Dementia Live helps participants gain a first-hand understanding of the anxiety, isolation, frustration, confusion and other feelings experienced by someone living with dementia.

The simulation uniquely walks participants from the "AHA" moment to empowering care partners, friends and professionals with tools to improve communication, care processes, relationship building and environment.

Join us from 5:30pm to 7:00pm at CommonGrounds Workplace (Parking: 6511 Avenida Encinas. Carlsbad, CA 92011)

Agenda:

  • 5:30 - Check-in
  • 5:45 - Dementia Live

Light refreshments will be served.

Frequently asked questions

I'm interested in learning but I do not want to go through a simulation

You can join as an observer! Come watch others to gain the same knowledge.

I have dementia/my loved one has dementia - is this appropriate for me/them?

No, your safety and mental wellbeing is our first priority. We do not allow or recommend anyone experiencing dementia or cognitive impairment to participate in Dementia Live as it may add too much stress to the participant

Can I watch and then participate?

We strongly recommend you do not watch the simulation if you want to go through it yourself or it takes away from the power of the experience
