Virtual reality bringing new adventures to those in assisted or independent living

WILLOUGHBY, Ohio — If you or a loved one live in an independent or assisted living facility, you may know some offer exercise classes or perhaps a cooking class, but a location in Willoughby is taking the entertainment digital by introducing residents to virtual reality.

The facility houses around 600 residents that range from independent to assisted living. Back in 2020, they decided to bring something new, virtual reality sets. Those residents include Cyndi and Jeff Oviatt who’ve been at the facility for a month. They met on a canoe trip in Canada. They’ve been married for more than 50 years and have traveled to all seven continents. When they use the VR sets, it takes them down memory lane.
