VR in aged care: what MACG learned after 1000 hours
MACG introduced SilVR at Parkdale in Dec 2024 to better reach residents who were isolated or less engaged. Led by Beverly, the team has now delivered 1,000+ hours of VR in 12 months, with 70% of participants rating sessions “Very Good” or “Exceptional,” and staff observing more calm, connection and storytelling. SilVR has since expanded across all MACG homes, with the program earning multiple award nominations and early access to the new SilVR Pathways platform.
