Virtually Real
Therapeutic Recreation for the 21st century.
"Retirement is a time to rest" caused older adults to spend countless hours nearly (physically and mentally) idle in front of a television. Today, substantial and growing evidence shows that this behaviour has serious negative effects on long-term health: "retirement-age" is the most important time to be physically and cognitively active to mitigate the impact of incurable chronic conditions. Global health care has been reactive - which worked well in the 20th century, treating acute illnesses and injuries. Older adults need to approach their mental and physical health in a more proactive and individual (rather than systemic) manner because the risks to their quality of life are chronic.
At Virtually Real, we're eager to renew older adults' passion for life, learning and art - aiming to "Inspire Personal Renaissance" - a compellingly proactive approach to ageing. Powerful immersion into our curated array of interactive virtual environments encourages intuitive use of physical, intellectual, and emotional faculties, acting as a cornerstone of optimal ageing - from ageing-at-home to Long Term Care. For those without the extensive support of a facility, our 1:1 in-home consultations helps to lay the remaining foundation.

About
Virtually Real was conceived while attending George Brown's Gerontology: Seniors Activation Coordinator program (to be renamed Recreation Management in Gerontology). With it, I aim to leverage the latest, most powerful end-user technology to improve the way older adults age. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff are CPR trained, TB cleared, non-disclosure contracted, and bonded to work with vulnerable sectors.
We are literally a family at Virtually Real - trying to make ends meet by helping older adults live a higher quality of life for as long as they have before them. Compassion, empathy and curiosity are core to our beliefs, and we aim to leverage those passions in our daily lives, including our work.
We hope to see you soon,
The Poolars
