The RealCare™ Geriatric Simulator

Unforgettable simulation experience + Standards-based curriculum = Comprehensive career preparation

Career opportunities in Geriatrics and Gerontology are growing!

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

Of the 10 skills needed for working in a nursing home, most involve direct patient care

For successful careers, these professionals need: Academic

knowledge Technical skills Geriatric

sensitivity

The RealCare Geriatric Simulator can help

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:

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
