I am beyond excited to have been introduced to Golden Carers. I am thrilled about what this will mean for my residents.Thank you for this wonderful site and all the resources.

I have been having a sort out of the supplies cupboard and found an (unopened) Virtual Reality headset - the type where you have to put an iphone inside. Does anyone have any experience using these with seniors with dementia? Did they enjoy it?
If so, are there any programs you would suggest?
Hi Martin
What a find
I have never used this headset but this article and comments may help you

Also think about asking this question at the golden Carers Facebook group

Google or Youtube always is my to-go-to resource.
I did try one for several residents, it was a boat trip, that they really enjoyed Make sure that your resident is comfortable using it. They must also be seated. I'm not sure if there is a warning against using them with certain medical condition eg epilepsy.
Hi Martin
I thought I answered this question but apparently it didn’t go through
