Arbor Terrace Highland Park, a leading memory care community, proudly announces its partnership with Eugeria to introduce a revolutionary dementia technology.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, July 26, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Arbor Terrace Highland Park, a leading assisted living and memory care community, proudly announces its partnership with Eugeria to introduce a revolutionary dementia technology: the Tovertafel. This investment by the three Arbor communities of Chicago makes them the first in Chicago to provide this cutting-edge dementia technology.

The Tovertafel is a care tool that projects playful and interactive light animations. It detects hand movements, transforming any surface into an interactive game.

It is the only product of its kind to be co-designed, together with older adults with dementia, their families, health care professionals and university researchers. The Tovertafel is a great example of a “warm technology” which is a perspective for design that puts vulnerable people at the heart of each technology design.

With the implementation of this groundbreaking technology, Arbor Terrace Highland Park demonstrates its commitment to enhancing the lives of residents and ensuring they receive the highest standard of care available. The system is used by care staff and family members who wish to meaningfully engage with residents. By playing one of the immersive games specifically designed through years of proprietary research, they manage to increase physical activity, social interaction, and decrease restlessness and anxiety.

“Our whole team at Arbor Terrace Highland Park is thrilled to be at the forefront of dementia care technology in Chicago,” said Brandi Blizzard, vice president of engagement at The Arbor Company, managers of Arbor Terrace. “We believe that by integrating this innovative system into our daily operations, we can significantly improve the lives of our residents living with dementia. This technology enables us to provide personalized care, enhance their well-being, and create a safe and nurturing environment.”

Arbor Terrace Highland Park invited the community to learn more about their groundbreaking dementia technology during a media day. The event provided an opportunity to experience the technology firsthand and witness its positive impact on residents' lives.
