Understanding Dementia: Experience Everyday Life from a New Perspective
What does a familiar everyday life feel like when orientation, perception, and simple routines suddenly become a challenge? The exhibition Dementia Simulator – Experience Dementia Interactively invites you on October 1, 2026, at the District Hospital Mainkofen to directly and experientially learn about the living environment of people with dementia.
Try Out 14 Everyday Situations Yourself
The dementia simulator guides you through 14 typical everyday situations. Visitors can independently try out the stations and experience how feelings of insecurity, overwhelm, and changed perception can feel. The perspective shift creates a personal connection to a topic that affects many families, caregivers, and volunteers.
An Event Experience with a Lasting Impression
A calm atmosphere for focused impressions and personal reflection arises in the foyer of gerontopsychiatry. The exhibition combines professional information with an immediate event experience. Two professionals from gerontopsychiatry will be available for information and questions during the specified times.
Practical for Relatives, Caregivers, and Volunteers
The offering is particularly aimed at informal caregivers, trainees, professional caregivers, and people engaged in voluntary work related to dementia. For event planning and target group communication, the dementia simulator relies on an understandable, self-determined approach: There are no guided tours; the individual stations can be explored at one's own pace.
Part of Dementia Week 2026
The exhibition is a contribution to Dementia Week 2026 in the Deggendorf district. Organization and event management are in the context of the Health Region Plus Deggendorf and the District Hospital Mainkofen. Admission is possible without prior registration and is free of charge.
Conclusion: A Perspective Shift that Lasts
The dementia simulator not only makes information visible but also allows visitors to collect their own experiences. Those who want to understand dementia better, support relatives more consciously, or reflect on professional interactions with affected individuals will find an impressive approach in Mainkofen. Experience the exhibition live and take away new impulses for greater understanding and empathy.
