For many caregivers and professionals the biggest hurdle in Dementia care is understanding what it’s like to have it.  This brief preview video will give a few examples of those who took the Virtual Dementia Tour.  This tour is hosted by Nicole Wolfson Director of Community Relations with Sunrise Senior Living.  This tour was founded by P.K.
