Virtual Reality Experiences for Seniors
Virtual Reality Experiences for Seniors
We work with aged care facilities, retirement living communities, hospitals and related services across Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia and the UK.
Founded in Melbourne in 2019, SilVR Adventures embarked on a mission to transform the quality of life for seniors through immersive virtual reality experiences. Initially focused on guided communal VR sessions that fostered social interaction and connection among residents, we quickly realised the broader potential of our technology. Positive feedback from residents and care teams spurred the development of a more flexible, self-service solution that empowered aged care facilities to deliver these enriching experiences more frequently and at a reduced cost.
Our journey has been marked by continuous innovation, especially in the face of global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, meaningful social interactions for the elderly were significantly disrupted, and we stepped up to bridge that gap. We introduced cutting-edge VR headsets and a comprehensive software platform capable of connecting participants in shared experiences, without complex IT infrastructure or Wi-Fi. This innovation allowed seniors to remain engaged, reducing feelings of isolation and enhancing mental well-being.
SilVR Adventures is proud to offer a proven, research-backed solution that meets the diverse needs of older adults, including specialised programs tailored for cognitive care and dementia support. Our content library, available in multiple languages, ensures accessibility and inclusivity for residents from varied cultural backgrounds. Our approach has been designed to be easy to implement, with extensive training, support resources, and ongoing assistance for care providers to seamlessly integrate VR into their routines.
Our reach has expanded far beyond Melbourne. Today, SilVR Adventures is trusted by a growing network of aged care facilities, retirement villages, hospitals, government entities, and organisations in the disability sector across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the broader Asia-Pacific region. Our dedication to quality and results has made us a leader in the field, recognised for enhancing resident engagement, supporting staff, and delivering a meaningful and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
As we continue to grow, our commitment remains unwavering: to harness the power of VR technology to create joyful, life-enhancing moments for seniors and support the vital work of those who care for them. With a focus on innovation, proven results, and scalable solutions, SilVR Adventures is positioned to set the standard for VR applications in aged care and beyond.
