“Residents and their families really love having Rendever as an activity option. It’s a social thing. They talk about the experiences later at dinner. To me, it helps with the happiness factor, which is a very important piece of what we offer.”

We launched the original VR pilot
Maplewood Senior Living initiated a pilot program in three of its communities to test the impact of Rendever's VR experiences on their residents.
A miracle happened with Mickey
During the pilot phase, a resident with dementia named Mickey overcame expressive aphasia through the immersive experiences provided by Rendever, emphasizing the transformative potential of Rendever.
Full rollout throughout Maplewood
Following the success of the pilot phase, Maplewood Senior Living expanded Rendever's VR experiences across the entire portfolio, providing even more seniors with access to this groundbreaking technology.
