St Pauls Care Centre Residents enjoy virtual underwater experience
Virtual Reality isn’t just for gamers. It’s a window to the world for our beloved residents. From revisiting their hometowns to experiencing bucket-list adventures, VR offers immersive experiences that bring joy, comfort, and stimulation.
Residents at St Pauls Care Centre, Hemel Hempstead took a dive into the deep ocean. Turning their cinema room into a sensory ocean room, from hanging jelly fish lights to projector sea lights on the floor, residents enjoyed a very special VR experience under water where there were dolphins, sharks and even turtles swimming around, whilst delivering facts and information about their environment.
Beyond entertainment, VR is also a powerful tool for cognitive therapy and relaxation. It helps reduce anxiety, combat loneliness, and stimulate memories – contributing to better mental and emotional well-being.
We’re so excited to see the smiles on our residents’ faces as they explore the world in a whole new way. This is just the beginning of how we’re using technology to enhance the quality of life for everyone in our care.
