Hear What Others Have to Say
The heart of caregiVR is the impact we see every day. Here, partners, care teams, families and residents share their experiences with our immersive programs—stories of engagement, inspiration, and discovery brought to life through VR. These reflections highlight the real moments that motivate our work and shape the way we continue to innovate.
From Leadership
Oliver Stone
Regional Manager, Chartwell
"Seeing their faces light up with joy, curiosity, and even nostalgia was a powerful reminder of the impact that immersive technology can have, especially in senior care."
Lindsay Bailey
Manager, Recreation Services, Unionville Home Society
"caregiVR customer service is exceptional, combining professionalism with a hands-on approach that truly sets them apart. They’re flexible, responsive, and consistently go above and beyond to provide the support we need."
Abby Katz Starr
CEO, Unionville Home Society
"Thank you...for bringing meaningful innovation to Unionville Home Society as well as so much fun for our residents!"
Alfred Ng
VP Programs, Services & Supports, CommunitiCare Health
"caregiVR created a safe, joyful, and confidence-building experience for our seniors, and it was remarkable to witness how quickly initial apprehension turned into genuine excitement. This kind of meaningful engagement is exactly what supports connection, cognitive stimulation, and overall well-being for the older adults we serve."
From Caregivers
Avijeet Parmar
Caregiver of 15 years
"Because of this journey, I’ve become increasingly reliant on technology—tools, platforms, and innovations that make caregiving more sustainable. That’s why your work, and the intentional design thinking behind caregiVR and related initiatives, resonates so deeply with me. It reflects the kind of systems-level change I hope to contribute to: practical, inclusive, and grounded in the lived experiences of caregivers who are so often overlooked."
Mona
Caregiver of Lloyd, living with dementia
"He was talking about his travels like he used to 20 years ago, and was actually lucid and interested in what his grandkids were up to nowadays. It was such a gift."
Occupational Therapist
"Unlike traditional “brain stimulating games” (that are often offered in a written format), VR offers more opportunities for personalization (i.e. a personalized puzzle) and active participation (i.e. VR can provide cuing & encouragement for patients that may struggle with attention deficits and/or avolition)."
Keeley Dougherty
Recreation Therapist

From Seniors
"I never thought I would see Hawaii in my life. My knees have not let me do much walking in years. But then I put on the VR headset, and suddenly I felt like I was there...I finally got to cross something off my list, just in a different way than I imagined."
"“How can I buy one of these, I would sell my flat screen for this, such a great experience”
“It was so nice going back to Strasbourg again, my husband and I used to go there when we lived in France, we met at a Naval Base in France!"
“My pastime used to be travelling — my husband golfed and I travelled — so this is amazing to be able to do it again.”
