Virtual Reality Allows Retirement Home Residents to Explore New worlds

Residents of the Maple Knoll Village retirement community have found a new and exciting way to keep active and entertained through virtual reality. During the peak of the Covid-19 Pandemic, residents missed out on a lot. With fewer outside activities and more isolation, something needed to change. The good thing, however, is that times like these inspire innovative solutions.

This is exactly what happened when Maple Knoll Chief Innovation Officer Andy Craig brought VR headsets to the residents. Virtual reality is such an amazing tool. With this amazing technology, seniors who could not get out even before the pandemic can now experience the world. Everything from river rafting to skydiving is on the table. Check out the Full Story to see all the great activities these seniors have access to.

We strongly support anything that enriches the lives of our great older Americans. That is why we urge Congress to pass the bill we call The Greatest Generation Benefits Act. This bill would dramatically improve the lives of those who gave so much for this country. Seniors 82 deserve $85 more a month as well as a 4% benefits raise every single year. The results of our nationwide survey show that Americans are ready to see this change. You can help make it a reality by signing our petition.

Thanks for your support!
