Revolutionizing Aged Care: VR Enhances Resident Well-Being

Virtual Reality Experiences Offer Aged Care Residents the Chance to Explore the World without Leaving Home

Virtual reality (VR) experiences are providing aged care residents at Barwon Health with a unique opportunity to embark on virtual adventures and explore the world without leaving their homes. This groundbreaking initiative is part of a study aimed at investigating the social benefits of VR for individuals with mild dementia. By engaging in immersive VR experiences, residents have been able to visit renowned landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the picturesque Irish countryside, stimulating their senses and fostering social interaction.
