- All staff members experience the Virtual Dementia Tour® (VDT®) prior to hire. The Virtual Dementia Tour® (VDT®) is a real-life simulation that allows you to experience the sights, sounds, and feelings that those with Dementia adapt to every day as they try to accomplish simple tasks. While we will never be able to fully understand how Dementia feels, the VDT® demonstration is an attempt to provide profound insight into the lonely, frightening world of Dementia. This enlightening program helps all of us to perceive aging and cognitively-impaired diseases in a more compassionate way
