Utilizing virtual reality technology, Palmview has implemented a new program that is geared to spark positive cognitive results for those with various forms of memory loss. This will create pleasant and meaningful sensory experiences, reduce anxiety, improve spatial awareness and provid a unique cognitive exercise.
This is a technique growing in popularity. The use of virtual reality can help boost levels of dopamine, an important neurotransmitter that is typically lower for seniors with forms of memory loss, like Alzheimer’s. Gulf Coast Village uses a multi-pronged approach to care, which encompasses seven dimensions of wellness including physical, social, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, vocational and environmental aspects. The latest memory support program offered within the Palmview community explores how the recreational use of this technology can serve as a therapeutic activity for residents.
“We are pleased to begin implementing the use of virtual reality within the Palmview community, utilizing the latest technologies to provide personalized memory care support for each individual,” said Kevin Ahmadi, area director of operations for Volunteers of America. “We are committed to implementing immersive, engaging strategies here at Palmview, and look forward to seeing the many ways that this program will enhance overall quality of life for our residents.”
