What is it about?
The dementia course developed by "Hands-on Dementia" simulates the symptoms of dementia and guides participants through an ordinary day of a person with dementia in a total of 13 everyday situations.
From getting dressed, going into town and shopping at the market to dinner and going to bed, people who do not have dementia can experience what the symptoms of dementia feel like.
The participants will experience their own limits in the various situations and their own inability to cope. By experiencing their own emotions, they develop a better understanding of dementia patients.
Who is the dementia course aimed at?
The dementia course is aimed at all people who are interested in and committed to the topic of dementia. The prerequisite for use is professional supervision. The dementia trail is expressly not aimed at people who have dementia themselves.
If you are interested, you can discover and try out the dementia trail at events organized by the Wolfsburg Senior Citizens and Care Support Centre.
Can I borrow the dementia course?
Yes, registrations and reservation requests should be sent to the Wolfsburg Senior Citizens and Care Support Center via e-mail pflegestuetzpunkt@stadt.wolfsburg.de, or by telephone: 05361 28-2848.
What does the dementia course cost?
In principle, interested groups and institutions from Wolfsburg can borrow the dementia trail free of charge. However, a nominal fee of 50 euros is charged in advance, which will be refunded if the materials are returned in full and properly.
The Senior Citizens and Care Support Center will also be happy to answer any questions you may have!
