NYC seniors are having the time of their lives, traveling the world without leaving their nursing homes, thanks to Mynd Immersive and their virtual reality experiences. According to Wide Open Spaces, residents of the New Jewish Home on West 106th Street are revisiting places from their past and exploring new adventures—from Broadway shows to swimming with sharks. One resident even got to stroll down the street where he grew up.  Pretty sure Montana is one of the destinations people can go to virtually.

Mynd Immersive is shaking up senior care by bringing joy and reducing isolation through VR. Whether it’s helping with memory, socialization, or just providing a much-needed escape, this tech is changing the game for elderly care across the country.  Currently, this company serves the following:

  • Senior Living
  • Post-Acute Care
  • Home Care/ Aging In Place
  • Hospice and Palliative Care
  • Veterans

What a great way to use technology.
