RESTORE-Together keeps individuals in long-term care active

As COVID cases continue to rise across the country, many are still distanced from loved ones, especially those in nursing homes and long-term care facilities at high risk. In an effort to negate feelings of loneliness, facilities are turning to technology like RESTORE-Together.

RESTORE-Together is a new and enhanced motivational therapy platform with a multiplayer function that now allows patients the ability to play skill-building games together instantly with family, loved ones, and residents at other nursing homes without the need for in-person visitation.

With RESTORE-Together individuals have the opportunity to participate in live, nationwide gaming tournaments. No special hardware is needed. RESTORE-Together offers all the benefits of RESTORE Skills, now with the additional benefit of collaboration. Thanks to the RESTORE Skills platform, facilities nationwide can do the following from their laptops:

— Turn every patient room into a therapy gym with just a laptop, internet connection, and a webcam;

— Seamlessly connect patients to loved ones and other therapy patients;

— Keep seniors busy, active and engaged;

— Residents can access multiplayer games all from the safety of their rooms, turning any patient room into a therapy gym.

RESTORE-Together creates safe social gaming opportunities during the coronavirus pandemic, while also enabling patients to make therapy strides during the process. This is a big component of fighting isolation in nursing homes – especially as the colder months of the year and a potential second wave hit us, which may make in-person visitations an obstacle for patients and loved ones.

RESTORE is a cloud-based platform that turns any computer with an internet connection and webcam into a data-driven therapy tool that can be used within skilled nursing rehab gyms, at patients’ bedsides, and at home post discharge. It is an interactive developmental tool that allows users a leading edge, cost-effective, web-based technology for gym and therapy activities in what is now largely a digital world. An example of RESTORE’s Next-Gen Patient Experience includes their result-driven gamification features – engaging games like virtual slot machines, bingo, skiing and more that utilize therapeutic activities to motivate patients to practice and achieve therapy goals (to name just one example).
