Staffers at the council-owned Redford Lodge learned daily challenges for patients with dementia through VR headsets. The training program simulated the visual and motor challenges involved in completing basic tasks. Each trainee learned how to develop patient care plans that set seniors up for success. Bristol City Council expanded training from an initial group of 30 caregivers to managers and supervisors.
