First-of-its-kind Dementia Bus stopping in Terryland this Thursday

Bluebird Care is bringing the first-of-its-kind, Dementia Bus, to Galway city this week.

The virtual simulator allows people to experience the disorientation and memory loss that those with dementia face daily.

September is World Alzheimer’s Month, which aims to raise awareness and to challenge the stigma around dementia.

The Dementia Bus will be at Dunnes Stores Terryland Shopping Centre this Thursday from 10:30AM-5PM.
