Activities in EHPADs are constantly evolving. Entertainers are constantly looking for new ideas to entertain our senior residents in their establishments. Today, virtual reality offers new possibilities such as… travel!
Virtual reality travel.
Among the different fields of use of virtual reality, there is one that is developing more and more: travel. Months of health crisis, a growing ecological awareness, more expensive plane tickets, there are many reasons that push travel enthusiasts to travel differently.
Today, with virtual reality headsets, traveling anywhere , anytime is possible! Travel, thanks to virtual reality, has become as fast as teleportation. In just a few seconds, stroll the streets of Delhi, then explore the beaches of Bali.
Emotion and feelings count a lot in the decision to undertake a trip. The immersion offered by virtual reality allows you to feel up close the atmosphere that emanates from a place.
Teleportation for seniors.
As we have said, traveling using virtual reality is very close to teleportation. Regardless of everyone's physical qualities, traveling via a virtual reality headset is accessible to everyone!

Thus, more and more EHPAD facilitators are offering activities linked to virtual reality and travel. For many residents, it is an opportunity to escape , to go on a trip again, to discover new landscapes. Which, for many, has become more difficult. Likewise, it is also an opportunity to revisit the places where they used to spend their vacations.
In addition to the fun and unique aspect that travel offers to seniors thanks to virtual reality headsets, we can note other advantages. Indeed, travel, via virtual reality, allows you to develop new abilities and maintain a link with contemporary developments.
In order to vary the activities and keep them anchored in the present, EHPAD facilitators can rely on virtual reality. Using a virtual reality headset, it is possible to take EHPAD residents on a journey. These sessions offer a great opportunity for our seniors to escape.
