Event Listing
Listed below are a few of our upcoming events. Please take a look at our Event Calendar for a full listing!
The Virtual Dementia Tour (VDT) is designed to help simulate the effects of dementia. A trained facilitator will guide participants outfitted with patented devices that alter their senses while they try to complete common everyday tasks and exercises. The Tour enables caregivers to experience for themselves the physical and mental challenges those with dementia face, and use the experience to provide better person-centered care.
Join us to meet other people with Parkinson’s and their families as we learn from local experts and encourage each other, and leave with a feeling of hope and purpose that you can get the most out of life, maintain your independence, and continue to enjoy all that life has to offer.
This group meets at Insight - Fairfax on the first Wednesday. All support groups are free and open to the public. Please contact Sonia for more information.
