Perennial Park has added a new, fun activity to the Center!

We are now offering Rendever: VR Connections! It is a virtual reality experience for older adults. Come check it out on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 1-2 p.m. in the Computer Lab!

Experience the world like never before! Rendever brings immersive virtual reality experiences to seniors, enabling travel, exploration, and meaningful connections.

Rendever, a virtual reality (VR) experience for older adults, is an evidence-based program designed to overcome social isolation through the power of positive, shared experiences. Supported by the National Institute on Aging and the National Academy of Medicine, Rendever has more than 20 clinical studies demonstrating its ability to connect people to the world through an individualized or shared immersive experience.

Activities include:
– Revistiting meaningful memories, including national sites, virtual walking tours, and guided meditation.
– Activity guides educate and offer travel experiences in arts and entertainment, culture, nature, adventure, and athletics.
– Leveled programs support sensitivity for those new to the VR experience.

Bringing this program to the Center was made possible by a grant through the Michigan Association of Senior Centers and Molina Healthcare! We truly appreciate their generosity and dedication to helping older adults in new and innovative ways!

If you are interested in the program, you can call 517-437-2422 or visit us at 320 W. Bacon Street, Hillsdale, MI 49242

We have transitioned our SAFE+ program to SAFE as Prevention!
Stop by the Center to meet with our program coordinator, Cynthia Li-Garmany! She will be here every Wednesday from 10am-3pm to help you fight back against financial abuse and exploitation. This program was developed by Dr. Peter Lichtenberg from the Institute of Gerontology at Wayne State University to help older adults facing these issues and by using evidence-based education, we hope to help older adults become proactive in protecting themselves from abuse as well as how to deal with issues if they occur.
To learn more about this program, call us at 517-437-2422 or stop by the Center on Wednesdays located at 320 W. Bacon Street, Hillsdale, MI 49242.
