“You don’t understand how real it’s going to be until you put those goggles on.”

At Extendicare long-term care homes, technology is helping bring the world to our residents. Through a virtual reality program with Rendever residents can explore places like the Great Barrier Reef or their own childhood homes.

"Learning a little bit about them and what they're interested in, and being able to take them right there is such a great experience, and they always leave feeling happy about it," shares Jayme, the Resident Program Manager at Extendicare Peterborough.

These immersive experiences don’t just spark joy - they foster connection and calm, even supporting those with cognitive impairments.

What do social workers do in long‑term care? More than many people realize.

Social workers support residents and families from the very beginning — helping with admission, adjustment, care planning and emotional support through life’s biggest transitions.

They also connect families to resources, advocate for residents and help people feel informed, supported and confident in the care their loved one receives.

One of the most meaningful ways to support someone living with dementia is by doing things with them—not for them—and mealtimes are a great place to start. 🍽️💙

As Nutrition Month continues, Karen Simpson, Extendicare’s Manager of Behavioural Services and Dementia Care and a Nurse Practitioner, alongside Tara Pfab, Extendicare’s Director of Nutritional Care and Culinary Services and a Registered Dietitian, share three simple, practical ways to support people living with dementia during meals. These approaches help promote dignity, choice, and person-centred care—making mealtimes more enjoyable for everyone.

A special thank you to Extendicare Burloak residents Edith, Katherine, and Lillian for kindly participating in our video.
