Our top picks for the best virtual tours to experience this festive season

Give your residents the chance to experience the world from the comfort of home with these virtual tours 

 

One of the best parts of the winter season is taking in all of the festive sights and experiences that take place over the next few weeks. Whether it’s a city break, a day out or an autumn walk in the countryside, there are so many things to do and see! 

Some older people living in care homes, however, might find that they are not able to get out and see some of the sights that they might want to see or have been to in the past, possibly as part of their festive traditions. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t bring these opportunities to explore into the care home.  

Now, thanks to the Wellness and Activities Platform, residents can experience some of the most wonderous places in the world all from the comfort of the home. It means that they can have the opportunity to explore whole new places or rekindle fond memories of places they might have visited before, especially if they have visited these places around the festive season. These places can be explored through our series of virtual tours. 

Being able to experience these iconic locations will give older people living an invaluable means of staying connected with the world around them, as even though the festive season can be a time of joy and togetherness, the cold and dark weather that comes with it can also be a time of isolation and loneliness for older adults. 

So below are some of our top picks for virtual tours for your residents to experience and enjoy!
