About this Event

In Person Event (Ajax Hub located at the Grandview Kids Ajax - The Jerry Coughlan Building 1461 Harwood Ave N, Ajax, On L1T 0R3). Participants will receive an up close, hands-on experience that provides critical insight into the world of dementia. This program is invaluable to people who are caring for a person with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia. When someone is diagnosed with dementia, it affects everyone: the family, friends, and professional caregivers. The Dementia Tour® Experience helps shed light on some of the responsive behaviours exhibited by individuals living with dementia. Please ensure you wear socks and closed toe footwear for this event.
