The holidays can be a wonderful time, but for family caregivers and those they are caring for, it can evoke feelings of anxiety and frustration.
We like these tips for caregivers from the Family Caregiver Alliance. They offer helpful suggestions on how to communicate with family members about your needs and the needs of the person you are caring for when it comes to holiday expectations.
Caregivers may feel resentful towards other family members who they feel have not offered enough assistance. Managing care for someone who has a cognitive impairment may leave caregivers feeling that they will not be able to participate as fully as they would like in family gatherings. Already feeli...

For many family caregivers and older adults — especially those with health changes, like cognitive impairment — gatherings can be challenging.
Disruptions in routines, overlapping conversations, and a packed schedule of activities can cause anxiety and confusion for families that can be difficult to navigate together.
Our Embodied Labs immersive training modules help caregivers experience first-person perspectives of older adults, providing greater empathy, understanding, and more personalized care. Caregivers learn to recognize anxiety triggers, barriers to effective communication, and signs of loneliness — and develop the skills for redirecting, calming, and engaging with seniors, so they can enjoy the holidays.

On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we encourage you to see for yourself the difference embodied training can make in the lives of those living with disabilities.
At Embodied Labs, we recognize, support, and aim to make life better for those living with conditions due to aging.
By leveraging the strengths of training in the metaverse, we create experiences that showcase the whole person—their lived experience and the life transitions that surround living with a disability, such as macular degeneration and hearing loss. This delivers the tools and understanding caregivers need to provide enhanced, more empathetic care.

We are honored to be named the winner of the “Visionary Caregiver” finalist award from Caregiving.
“The visionary caregiver award was created to shine a light on those in the family caregiver space who are innovative - entrepreneurs, innovators, disruptors, those folks who are trying to change the paradigm and create a societal movement around family caregiving. They’re not waiting for Congress; they’re not waiting for large organizations to create a change. We had a ton of people nominated, and we couldn’t be more excited about the disruption in the space.”
Thank you caregiving.com, we are privileged to do this work.

The Beatriz Lab
Our Alzheimer's disease Lab was created to provide #caregivers with an authentic glimpse into the daily life of people living with #dementia and their families. The perspective that this training provides to organizations is invaluable. Our facilitation guides will walk you through each step for how to implement this into your own training program seamlessly. Contact us at [email protected] for an example of how it works!
Embodied Labs' Carrie Shaw with Virtual Reality Solutions for Alzheimer's Care on The Doctors CBS Talk Show
ICYMI: Embodied Labs' Carrie Shaw shared the inspiration for creating virtual reality training solutions for Alzheimer's on CBS' The Doctors earlier this week. At 19, she felt afraid and confused as a new caregiver for her mom with early-onset #Alzheimers.
"What I really wanted was the tool that Embodied Labs has been able to create today - which is a way to connect with a person and not just the disease."
Embodied Labs' virtual reality platform allows caregivers to take on a first-person perspective of someone living with Alzheimers and helps them gain more insight, connection, and empathy.
Learn how we as caregivers can provide better care with Embodied Labs!

Excited to take our viewers on a journey through the brain to gain a deeper understanding of #Alzheimer’s as part of our new Beatriz Lab. Neurons, cells in the brain, communicate by sending signals from one cell to another. As Alzheimer’s disease develops, these signals get blocked and disrupt normal brain activity. #vr #360animation #vr360
At the Peripheral - Living with Macular Degeneration
Excited to release #AtThePeripheral, a #360video #VR #documentary about life with macular degeneration.
When Tom Perski, a 22-year-old student athlete, was unexpectedly diagnosed with juvenile macular degeneration, the plans he envisioned for his future changed drastically. Today Tom is Vice President at a renowned vision rehabilitation center where he connects people with vision impairments to emerging technologies that help them hack their vision.

Embodied Labs is an immersive training company developing virtual reality experiences that allow people to embody the perspective of others.
Through these shared experiences, users are empowered with the understanding needed to help provide better and more effective care for their patients, customers, and family members.
We are transforming the way we care.
By better understanding their perspectives, we can help the people we serve to be more physically comfortable, emotionally healthy, and engaged in a purposeful and meaningful existence.
We are driven by the belief that by authentically embodying the experience of another person, we can empower those providing service and care with the understanding required to more effectively respond to the needs of others.
Having lived through the challenges inherent in caring for loved ones, we seek to create tools that help people navigate these difficult situations with confidence, competence, and compassion.
