Alcove: Holistic Health Care for the Elderly
Nearly 14% of older adults face mental health challenges, many of which go undiagnosed. Aging has mobility challenges, isolation, cognitive decline, and loss. All these challenges can lead to mental health struggles. Functional decline and limited engagement, adversity, disconnection, and a fading sense of purpose are some of the many challenges seniors face during this stage of life. This can feel overwhelming and discouraging. Alcove offers a relaxing escape from daily challenges seniors may encounter. It combines a holistic approach and a guided social experience. Natural sounds are integrated to promote a calming sensation. Alcove provides support through gentle and fluid movements that are easy on the body. The gestured commands can be adjusted based on each individual’s needs and abilities. Alcove offers comfort, health benefits, and personal well-being.
