Northwoods Caregivers invites caregivers to experience the powerful and eye-opening Virtual Dementia Tour on Monday, December 29th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Cass Lake IHS, 425 7th St NW, Cass Lake, MN.
This hands-on experience is designed to deepen understanding of the physical and cognitive challenges faced by those living with dementia. Participants will be guided through a simulated environment that mirrors the sensory and processing changes common in dementia, offering a rare opportunity to “walk in their shoes.”
Space is limited. To reserve your spot, please contact Earlene Buffalo at 218-333-8261.
This event is proudly hosted by Northwoods Caregivers and sponsored in part by the Minnesota Board on Aging, Minnesota Live Well at Home, and the Central MN Council on Aging.
