Dementia Live Logo

Our residents with Alzheimer’s receive enhanced care through Dementia Live, our high-impact training immersing employees into the world of dementia. This tool affects hearing, vision, and even how you feel. This powerful experience allows employees to better understand our residents’ daily experiences and enhances the level of care they’re able to provide.
