Benefits of using VR with people living with dementia
1: Reminiscence and Memory Stimulation
VR can immerse residents in familiar environments or past experiences (e.g., childhood places, old music halls), which helps trigger memories, encourage storytelling, and support identity.
2: Reduction of Anxiety and Agitation
Calming virtual settings, such as peaceful gardens or beaches, can ease distress, provide comfort, and reduce episodes of agitation or restlessness common in dementia care.
3: Enhanced Communication and Social Interaction
VR experiences can spark conversations with caregivers and family members, helping residents express themselves and strengthening relationships.
4: Improved Mood and Emotional Well-being
Positive and enjoyable VR activities, like virtual travel or music experiences, can uplift mood, reduce feelings of isolation, and bring joy into daily care routines.
5: Safe Exploration and Engagement
Residents can safely “explore” the outside world without physical risks, promoting engagement and curiosity even for those with limited mobility or advanced stages of dementia.
