While COVID-19 quarantined the world in 2020, my father fell and was placed in a skilled nursing facility across the country. Due to pandemic restrictions, I couldn’t visit, hold his hand, feel his hug, or look into his eyes and tell him everything was going to be ok. Instead, I did what other families around the world did. I turned to technology.
When I saw my dad on the screen, I was profoundly moved to see the isolation and loneliness in his eyes. The once vibrant and animated Vietnam war hero was gone. I was determined to find a way to help and knew that Utopia Experiences could positively impact quality of life for people like my father. Rooted in virtual live-hosted interactive game show entertainment, our company refocused to serve senior congregate living communities and their residents.
We engage this elder population through stimulating intellectual activity that encourages participation, “tickles” memories, and provides individuals opportunities for self-satisfaction and enjoyment—with residents and family members. We also offer activity reporting, enabling the facility to improve the care they provide to residents, communicate better with families, track staff productivity and see their return on investment. We serve with passion, enthusiasm and are grateful for the lives we touch.
