Most caregivers are asked to understand dementia without ever experiencing what it feels like.
Dementia 360™ is a nurse-developed training program that uses virtual reality and guided reflection to help caregivers better understand dementia and provide more compassionate, person-centered care.
After training 60+ caregivers, post-training surveys showed:
→ 93% reported increased confidence
→ 95% changed how they communicate
→ 96% reported greater empathy
Patricia Bartlett, RN, authored the curriculum, developed with grant support from IMPART Alliance, MSU, and MDHHS.
We're working with organizations across Michigan to bring it to their teams. If you lead a care team, a senior services organization, or a training program, I'd welcome a conversation.
