The VR program aims to improve resident engagement and happiness and reduce isolation.
They do this through three types of experiences:
- reminiscence therapy to trigger memories and conversations, such as revisiting a childhood home or country they emigrated from
- world travel, such as exploring Paris, swimming with dolphins or going on an African Safari, to leave the aged care home and create social interaction with fellow residents
- family bonding to overcome allow residents to experience adventures with visiting family members, such as watching a sunrise or the Aurora Borealis together
All SilVR Adventures services help providers bring virtual reality to their residents in group format rather than one on one.
