VR Training for Long-Term Care and Continuing Care Providers
Train care staff in resident mobility, medication preparation, meal assistance and sling-lift procedures — all in VR, before their first resident interaction. Developed with LCDS and Brantwood Community Services.
Train Staff Without Putting Residents at Risk
New care staff often learn mobility and medication procedures for the first time on a live resident. VR Hub gives them a safe environment to build competency before they step onto the floor.
Practise Procedures Before the First Resident Interaction
The highest-risk moments in long-term care happen early — a new aide performing a sling lift for the first time, a care worker administering medication in an unfamiliar environment. With VR Hub, staff can repeat these procedures as many times as needed in a fully immersive simulation before working with a resident.
The Continuing Care Experience module simulates a real care home environment — residents, rooms, equipment, and daily workflows. Staff build spatial confidence and procedural fluency that translates directly to the floor on day one.
- Repeat any procedure without resident risk or equipment wear
- Builds procedural confidence before first supervised shift
- Realistic care home environment — rooms, residents, daily equipment
Full Procedural Confidence
Residents never experience a first attempt.
Built With LCDS and Brantwood — Real Care Providers, Real Procedures
Every care module in VR Hub was developed with active involvement from LCDS (Lethbridge Continuing Care Society) and Brantwood Community Services. These are regulated continuing care organisations — their clinical staff shaped the procedure design, reviewed the simulations, and validated the training scenarios against real workflows.
This is not generic healthcare content. The Medication Preparation module reflects LCDS's actual medication prep process. The Meal Assistance module was built with Brantwood's front-line staff. What your team practises in VR reflects how these organisations operate on the floor.
- LCDS clinical staff contributed to medication prep procedure design
- Brantwood Community Services validated meal assistance module workflows
- Content reflects actual continuing care regulations in Alberta and Saskatchewan

Document Training Completions for Regulatory Purposes
Long-term care organisations are under increasing scrutiny to demonstrate staff competency. Stats Hub captures session-level analytics for every VR training run — who completed which module, their score, time on task, and date stamp. Your director of care or training coordinator can export this data to support orientation records, accreditation reviews, or provincial compliance documentation.
Multi-home operators get a consolidated dashboard across all sites — useful for regional directors who need a unified view of training compliance across their portfolio of care homes.
- Timestamped completion records for every staff member and module
- Exportable analytics for accreditation and compliance reviews
- Multi-home dashboard for regional training oversight
Compliance-Ready Records
Export for accreditation or HR.
Everything Long-Term Care Providers Need
VR Hub gives care organisations a structured, documented training supplement — built with real clinical partners, deployable across any number of sites.
Clinical Partnership Modules
Care modules were developed with LCDS and Brantwood — not by a content vendor working from textbooks. Procedures reflect real continuing care workflows.
Stats Hub — Completion Tracking
Session-level analytics for every staff member — completion, score, time on task, date stamp. Exportable for orientation records and accreditation documentation.
Facilitator Tool
Run cohort sessions during orientation or in-service days. The Facilitator Tool lets your training lead control pace, monitor progress, and rotate staff through a single headset efficiently.
Multi-Home Licensing
One subscription covers all your care homes. Regional directors get a consolidated Stats Hub view across every site — no separate logins or accounts per location.
Quarterly New Modules
New care content is in development — Nursing Experience (Fall 2026), Glucose Reading and Insulin Injection (Spring 2026). Your subscription includes all future care module releases.
Hardware Package Available
Order Meta Quest headsets through Melcher Studios — delivered in person with guided setup. One headset cycles through a cohort in a half-day session.
Care Modules Built With Real Partners
These six modules are the core of VR Hub's continuing care library — developed with LCDS and Brantwood, with more releasing through 2026. All included in your subscription.
Continuing Care Experience
Explore a fully simulated long-term care home — resident rooms, nursing station, common areas. Builds spatial orientation and daily workflow familiarity before a staff member's first shift.
LCDS Medication Preparation
Step through the LCDS medication preparation process in VR — reading the medication administration record, selecting the correct medications, preparing the cart, and delivering to the resident. Developed directly with LCDS clinical staff.
LCDS Sling and Lift
Practise Hoyer lift and sling positioning procedure in VR — positioning the sling correctly, operating the lift controls, and safely transferring a resident. Reduces first-attempt risk for new care aides.
Brantwood Meal Assistance
Simulate mealtime assistance in a care home environment — positioning the resident, communicating during feeding, identifying aspiration risk cues, and responding to a choking situation. Built with Brantwood Community Services staff.
Glucose Reading / Insulin Injection Coming Soon — Spring 2026
Practise blood glucose measurement and insulin injection procedure in VR — meter operation, site selection, dosage calculation, and injection technique. Prepares nursing and care aide staff for supervised clinical practice.
Nursing Experience Coming Soon — Fall 2026
A comprehensive nursing simulation covering patient assessment, charting, medication administration and resident communication in a hospital ward setting. Targeted at nursing students and LPN onboarding.

Common Questions from Care Providers
Practical answers for long-term care and continuing care organisations considering VR Hub.
Yes. The care modules in VR Hub were developed in direct partnership with LCDS (Lethbridge Continuing Care Society) and Brantwood Community Services. Their clinical staff contributed to procedure design for each module — from medication preparation steps to sling and lift technique. The simulations reflect actual workflows used in regulated continuing care environments, not generic approximations.
VR Hub modules are designed to complement your existing orientation programme — not replace required classroom or supervised hours. Many care providers use VR as a pre-orientation primer so new staff arrive with procedural familiarity before their first resident interaction. Stats Hub records completion, session time, and module performance, which your training coordinators can use to document that orientation steps were completed.
VR Hub is not itself a regulated training credential, but it is designed as a documented supplement to regulated training programmes. Stats Hub produces timestamped completion records and performance analytics. We recommend confirming specific regulatory acceptance with your provincial health authority. LCDS, operating under Alberta continuing care standards, was an active development partner and uses the modules in their own training environment.
Most care modules are 10 to 20 minutes for a first run-through. Staff can repeat a module in subsequent sessions, typically completing it in 8 to 12 minutes once familiar with the VR controls. This makes them practical for short windows during orientation or in-service training days — a single headset can cycle through a small cohort within a half-day session.
Yes. VR Hub subscriptions are structured to cover multiple sites within your organisation. The Facilitator Tool lets each home run sessions independently, and Stats Hub consolidates analytics across all locations so your director of care or training lead has a unified view. Contact us to discuss multi-home licensing and volume pricing.
No. VR Hub simulations are entirely fictional environments populated with simulated residents. No real resident data, records, or identifiable information is used at any point. The platform only collects staff training session analytics — completion status, time on task, and performance scores — which are visible only to your designated training coordinators.
