Summary

Over 90% of people living with dementia (PLWD) experience behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, including apathy, depression, sleep disruptions, wandering, repetitive behaviours and anxiety. These symptoms can result in poor quality of life, burden for caregivers, and an increased risk for physical abuse of PLWD.

This study aims to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and efficacy of a reminiscence therapy intervention using virtual reality technology, to reduce symptoms associated with dementia in older adults. Further, the investigators will assess if the intervention improved the quality of life of participants and the relationship between the person living with dementia and their caregiver.
