September is World Alzheimer’s Month, with World Alzheimer’s Day taking place on the 21st of September. More than 55,000 people in Ireland are living with dementia. To mark the month, Bluebird Care, in partnership with Dunnes Stores, brought its Dementia Bus to Ennis. The Dementia Bus – a first-of-its-kind virtual simulator, lets people experience the disorientation and memory loss that those with dementia face daily. To find out what the experience is really like, Alan Morrissey decided to board the Dementia Bus.
