The RealCare™ Geriatric Simulator
Unforgettable simulation experience + Standards-based curriculum = Comprehensive career preparation
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that6 of the 18 fastest-growing occupations relate
to health occupations:
Personal care aides Registered nurses Home health aids Nursing assistants Medical assistants Licensed practical
and vocational nurses
For successful careers, these professionals need: Academic
knowledge Technical skills Geriatric
sensitivity
By enabling users to personally experience age-
related physical changes, the Geriatric Simulator provides valuable geriatric sensitivity
training.
The Geriatric Simulator enables users to experience many common physical conditions of aging:
• Visual impairment
The Geriatric Simulator enables users to experience many common physical conditions of aging:
• Visual impairment• Restricted range of motion
and decreased mobility
The Geriatric Simulator enables users to experience many common physical conditions of aging:
• Visual impairment• Restricted range of motion
and decreased mobility• Stooped posture
The Geriatric Simulator enables users to experience many common physical conditions of aging:
• Visual impairment• Restricted range of motion
and decreased mobility• Stooped posture• Joint stiffness, loss of strength
and fatigue
The Geriatric Simulator enables users to experience many common physical conditions of aging:
• Visual impairment• Restricted range of motion
and decreased mobility• Stooped posture• Joint stiffness, loss of strength
and fatigue• Change in body image
and decreased sense of balance
The Geriatric Simulator enables users to experience many common physical conditions of aging:
• Visual impairment• Restricted range of motion
and decreased mobility• Stooped posture• Joint stiffness, loss of strength
and fatigue• Change in body image
and decreased sense of balance• Confusion
Studies show that these experiencesare effective ways to promote
empathy and understanding toward the elderly
of participants were able to empathize with life in old age “very well” after participating in an
age simulation suit experience*
of participants better understood the physical conditions of aging after participating in an age
simulation suit experience*
