Simulations
“ASiST” (Aging Simulation Sensitivity Training):
ASiST’s aging simulation exercises help participants understand age-related health challenges faced by the older people they serve. These include neuropathy, hearing loss, vision loss, language impairment, mobility and balance. Join us as we Share experiences with peers to help you process lessons learned in a meaningful, memorable way. What is it like to live every day as an older adult facing one or more common, age-related health challenges? During the engaging, active learning simulation sessions, participants break into small groups for simulation exercises designed to provide insight into this important question. After the “hands-on” experiences, they gather to discuss how such challenges may impact elder’s autonomy and ability to live independently. Together, they consider solutions and supports currently available to elders and brainstorm other potentially successful interventions. RSVP by emailing info@alohatoaging.org or call 770-722-7641.

Dementia 24/7 – Dementia Simulation Training:
Caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementia’s can be challenging. Their actions and verbal communication might not make sense, and conversing with others is sometimes difficult. They live with their condition twenty-four seven, so it’s imperative that providers identify with the complexity of their world. Families, caregivers and and professionals can reach a deeper level of understanding regarding patients living with dementia by spending some time “walking in their shoes.” Dementia Twenty-Four Seven’s simulation activities mimic what it’s like to feel confused, frustrated, isolated, and much more. Participants will gain compassion and empathy while they participate in the 5 activities and share their newfound understanding with other participants.
