Winner of multiple awards, the RealCare™ Geriatric Simulator is a revolutionary tool designed to simulate the physical effects of aging. By putting on this wearable suit, students and users can personally experience common age-related conditions such as joint stiffness, stooped posture, reduced mobility, and sensory decline.

This geriatric simulation suit goes far beyond textbook learning, providing your students with an impactful way to build empathy, foster clinical insight, and prepare them for real-world elderly care. Whether you're training nurses, carers, or allied health professionals, this simulator creates unforgettable "aha" moments that resonate long after the training session ends. 

The RealCare Geriatric Simulator comes with everything you need to deliver an engaging and effective training programme:

• Wearable sensitivity suit: Includes a weight vest, ankle and wrist weights, elbow and knee restraints, gloves, cervical collar, and six types of visual impairment glasses

• Walker and storage case

• Instructor-ready curriculum: A 9-lesson plan with presentation slides and assessment tools to support structured learning 

With this comprehensive setup, you can deliver geriatric care simulation-based training that targets critical areas of elderly care including communication, mobility, manual handling, and patient-centered empathy. 

Through the RealCare Geriatric Simulator Programme, participants will explore and experience:

• Visual impairment

• Restricted range of motion

• Joint stiffness and pain

• Fatigue and reduced strength

• Loss of balance

• Sensory decline in hands

• Stooping and postural changes
