Next week, the Franklin Senior Center is proud to host The Dementia Experience.

The Dementia Experience - Registration Required
- Oct 16 at 1:00 PM

More than 6 million Americans are living with a form of dementia, and taking a look at life through the eyes of someone with cognitive decline is a small step to better understanding their daily experiences.

The Dementia Experience uses sensory modifications and role playing activities to depict real situations that a person living with Mild Cognitive Impairment or dementia would face. Getting dressed, taking your daily  medications and preparing a meal, are all simple activities that are severely thwarted by cognitive disability.

The Dementia Experience thrusts you into the daily life of someone with dementia by simulating the physical ailments afflicting many seniors and creating the frustration, confusion and anxiety that accompanies cognitive impairment.

Registration is required, please call the Senior Center to sign-up!
