Bringing the world to seniors in retirement: One senior living provider’s success with virtual reality (VR) for seniors
VANCOUVER, Wash., June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Today Sinceri Senior Living (Sinceri SL) premiered their partnership video in collaboration with Viva Vita. After 6-months of partnership between the organizations, both Sinceri and Viva Vita are focused on taking their partnership to the next level and continually refining their programming and virtual reality offerings. Currently Viva Vita is serving 76 Sinceri Senior Living communities.
Kayla Wersal, VP of Programming at Sinceri Senior Living shared this about working with the team at Viva Vita, “Our residents at Sinceri Senior Living still have so many things that they would like to learn, explore, and experience; and through the technology provided by Viva Vita, each resident can do just that. Whether it’s visiting faraway lands, or even enjoying a musical performance or meditation/relaxation – Sinceri residents and their families can enjoy new experiences from the comfort of their Sinceri community.”
Sinceri Senior Living Communities are utilizing Viva Vita’s virtual reality headsets for resident programming in unique and novel ways:
- Pairing educational lectures on art pieces, history, and more – followed by visiting the location or museum virtually
- Pairing culinary experiences and regional cuisine with virtual trips to the region
- Connecting musical performances with educational opportunities on classical music, jazz, and more
Carleigh Berryman, Founder & CEO of Viva Vita had this to share about the continued partnership with Sinceri Senior Living, “We are thrilled to see this partnership take off the way it has. Sinceri staff has been so creative in their implementation of the Viva Vita virtual reality technology into their existing activities programming. They have ‘power users’, some upwards of 100 years old, who join the virtual reality activities every week! We look forward to expanding our relationship with Sinceri into new program applications and practices to measure the impact of Viva Vita solutions on resident wellbeing and mental health.”
As their partnership continues, both Sinceri Senior Living and Viva Vita look forward to serving as many seniors and their families as possible.
