Experience Dementia Through Caregivers' Eyes

A new simulation program in Oakmont lets families experience life with dementia through immersive gear, sparking empathy and better caregiving. Developed by Presbyterian SeniorCare Network’s Dementia360, it pairs caregivers with coordinators to refine daily strategies. One couple, Jan and Bob Donnell, gained profound insight into their mother’s struggles, helping them communicate more effectively. Executive Director Amy Kowinsky stresses focusing on what can be changed—not the disease—to create smoother, more compassionate care. This initiative, timed with Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, aims to humanize dementia and empower caregivers with practical, heartfelt support.
