      Manage Challenging Senior Care Situations with Confidence.

      Our immersive approach to elder safety training supports elder wellbeing, while providing the skills that care providers need to navigate difficult situations that may arise in senior care settings.

      Through three first-person learning experiences, learners will gain insights into caregiver burnout, intervention and de-escalation, and providing trauma-informed care.

      Access Three Immersive Learning Experiences in One Lab

      Caregiver Burnout

      Recognize signs of burnout, understand the associated risks to caregiver and care recipient, and identify available resources for support. Experience boredom and helplessness as you embody Hazel, a 75 year old woman living with severe chronic pain and early stage dementia.

      Intervention & De-escalation

      Embody Abby, a lead nurse’s aide who faces a sensitive situation involving her resident, Heloise. Observe a potentially abusive situation, determine how best to keep an elder safe, and experience a confrontation with a challenging family member.

      Trauma-Informed Care

      Embody Harold, a veteran with an extensive history of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Experience PTSD flashbacks and associated anxiety symptoms, identify common triggers and self-regulating practices.

      What Customers are Saying
      I feel it really showed how isolated and alone some of our customers may feel. I may never know what the person on the other end of the phone is dealing with. I will have more patience and compassion for the customers that call in, and be more understanding with the frustration they may have.
