More about:

A series of videos has been put online in The Netherlands to try to increase people's awareness about Alzheimer's.  What makes the Alzheimer Experience unique is that you can see the 10 scenes from the point of view of the patient, family members and caregivers.

The producers of the Alzheimer Experience hope the videos will help reduce the gap between the 275,000 people in the Netherlands who suffer from Alzheimer's and the rest of society.
