The product also includes five-minute audio recordings to accompany the 10 curriculum-based scenarios. Each type of dementia is represented by two scenarios, one set in a medical environment and the other in a home care setting, offering a well-rounded and realistic training experience.
Step Into the World of Individuals Living with Dementia
We are excited to share our Dementia Simulation Experience with you - an invaluable dementia care training tool.
This dementia simulation experience covers five types of dementia: Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, vascular dementia, and mixed dementia, making it a comprehensive training resource for nurses, carers, and dementia specialists.
This immersive experience allows caregivers, healthcare professionals, nursing students, and family members to step into the world of individuals living with dementia, fostering deeper understanding, empathy, and essential clinical skills.
Created by RealityWorks and exclusively distributed in the UK by AnatomyStuff, this hands-on training tool enhances dementia awareness and practical caregiving skills.
Read on to learn more about how it can benefit care homes, hospitals, nursing training programmes, and medical education institutions.
The Dementia Simulation Experience
What is the Dementia Simulation Experience?
The Dementia Simulation Experience is a realistic and interactive training solution designed to help trainees understand the cognitive, sensory, and physical challenges faced by individuals with dementia.
Through the use of specialised simulation equipment, participants can experience firsthand the symptoms of dementia, including confusion, disorientation, anxiety, frustration, and sensory impairment. This training helps develop effective communication skills, patient care techniques, and dementia-friendly caregiving approaches.
Cognitive symptoms associated with dementia:
- Confusion
- Fear
- Anxiety
- Frustration
- Anger
Five types of dementia:
- Alzheimer's disease
- Lewy body
- Frontotemporal
- Vascular
- Mixed
Participants can will also experience visual and tactile impairment.
How Does it Work?
Participants wear dementia simulation glasses and gloves, simulating visual impairment and reduced dexterity. Headphones with pre-recorded dementia scenarios replicate what a person with dementia might hear and feel, heightening awareness of auditory processing difficulties and sensory overload.
What's included in the Dementia Simulation Experience?
The experience includes:
- Dementia Simulation Experience (10-student kit)
Dementia simulation glasses (x10)
Headphones (x10) with MP3 players & 10 dementia simulation audio files
Gloves (x10) to simulate limited mobility
Storage case & soft-sided storage case for easy organisation
Downloadable curriculum for structured learning
Scenarios covering both medical and home care settings
Enhance Dementia Training with Additional Geriatric Care Models
We supply a range of products to enhance dementia training by integrating comprehensive geriatric care models that address the complex and evolving needs of older adults.
These tools support healthcare professionals in understanding the full spectrum of ageing-related challenges, enabling them to deliver more empathetic, coordinated, and effective care.
Whether used in clinical settings, long-term care facilities, or home care environments, our products empower caregivers with practical strategies and insights to improve outcomes for individuals living with dementia and other age-related conditions.

The RealCare Geriatric Simulator allows users to experience the physical challenges associated with ageing, such as limited mobility, joint stiffness, and sensory impairments. This hands-on training tool helps carers, healthcare professionals, and students develop empathy and practical skills for geriatric care.
Geriatric Sensory Impairment Kit
Designed to replicate common age-related sensory impairments, this kit includes simulation glasses, gloves, and hearing loss devices to mimic conditions like cataracts, arthritis, and reduced hearing. Ideal for training carers and healthcare professionals in providing compassionate elderly care.
EASI Empathic Age Simulator
The EASi Empathic Age Simulator offers an immersive ageing experience, replicating mobility restrictions, vision impairment, and hearing loss. This innovative tool enhances understanding and empathy for the daily struggles faced by elderly individuals.
Advanced GERI Nursing Skills Manikin
A lifelike geriatric nursing manikin designed for hands-on clinical training. GERi allows students to practise essential nursing skills, including personal care, catheterisation, injections, and wound care, making it an essential tool for elderly patient care training.
Geriatric Medication Management Simulation Kit
This interactive medication management kit helps users understand the complexities of medication management in older adults, including challenges with pill handling, dosing, and adherence. A valuable training aid for carers, nurses, and healthcare students.
Geriatric IV Injection Training Arm
A specialised IV training arm designed for practising venipuncture and IV therapy on elderly patients. It replicates fragile skin, reduced vein elasticity, and the challenges of administering intravenous treatments to geriatric patients.
As well as geriatric care training resources, we supply a wide range of high-quality medical education tools, including anatomical models and clinical skills trainers.
Our products support learning across a variety of healthcare disciplines such as nursing, physiotherapy, midwifery, and general medicine. From beginner-friendly training pads to advanced clinical skills manikins and realistic full-body simulators, we provide everything educators and students need to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the classroom, clinic, or skills lab.
Posters to Support Geriatric Care Products
To complement our geriatric care training products, we also offers a range of educational posters, that cover topics from ageing and the human body and common geriatric conditions to the detailed anatomy of Alzheimer's disease - the most common type of dementia.
These posters are ideal for use in classrooms, care settings, and training environments. They provide clear, accessible information to enhance understanding of ageing-related health challenges and promote best practices in elderly care. Perfect for reinforcing key concepts alongside our hands-on training products.
