We've hired some Virtual Reality (VR) headsets from Durham County Council and our residents are already enjoying the opportunity to explore the world in a whole new way!
VR offers some wonderful benefits, particularly for older people and those living with dementia. It can help stimulate memories, encourage conversation, reduce feelings of isolation, support emotional wellbeing and provide opportunities to experience places and activities that residents may not otherwise get the chance to enjoy.
Whether it's revisiting familiar places, enjoying a virtual holiday or discovering somewhere completely new, it's all about creating positive experiences, bringing back memories and, most importantly, sharing smiles along the way! ❤️
