The Virtual Dementia Tour® is a patented program of nonprofit organization Second Wind Dreams®, which uses patented sensory tools and training based on research conducted by P.K. Beville, M.S., a specialist in geriatrics and the founder of Second Wind Dreams®. The Virtual Dementia Tour® makes it possible for participants to experience the physical and mental challenges associated with dementia. This training is ideal for professional and family caregivers, health care workers and community members, who have routine interactions with people living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia or other cognitive impairments.
