“I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new.” – Jules Verne (Around the World in Eighty Days, 1873).
In this case, Belrose Country Club residents ‘travelled’ from the comfort of their village to see a familiar sight. Their means of travel was a little less familiar (and COVID safe!) as they used new technologies to re-discover their childhood home. Care apartment residents virtually soared across the globe to land in front of the home in which they grew up. Within the hour they had visited the Outback, the United Kingdom and Morocco.
Made possible by satellite imagery and Google Earth, residents traversed the world from their armchairs and shared in the joy of bringing childhood memories to life. It is an uplifting example of residents embracing the digital experience.
