RIVERDALE, N.Y. – October 12, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
RiverSpring Living’s Hebrew Home at Riverdale, the iconic Bronx-based long-term care community, announced today a major push into technology with an expansive augmented and virtual reality initiative for its 600+ residents.
Residents of the Hebrew Home at Riverdale are experiencing a new virtual reality program through a partnership with Boston-based Rendever. Rendever, a leading provider of virtual reality services to the healthcare industry, has created a custom VR experience for the Hebrew Home community, transporting older adults around the world.
This VR effort is making the impossible possible. The limitations of age and physical fragility, in addition to the impact of COVID, has reduced and, in many cases, prevented residents of the Hebrew Home from traveling outside of the campus. Virtual reality has opened the doors of possibility to change that.
This technology is being used in a variety of initiatives:
Globetrotting Near and Far
Residents are being transported to the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China and to the neighborhoods where they grew up. Because of technology, there is no limitation to where and when they can explore.
Attending Family Gatherings … Virtually
The Hebrew Home is equipping family members of its long-term care residents with GoPro cameras to film weddings, graduations, little league games and other important family events and gatherings.
Footage is uploaded to the VR headsets and shared with residents. Trained therapists work with residents, talking about the meaning of the family event, how they feel, and memories of spending time with them when they were younger.
Easing the Agitation of Dementia
Preliminary usage of VR at the Hebrew Home indicates that residents suffering from early stages of dementia are engaged and demonstrate increased attention and decreased agitation when using VR headsets that display family or calming images.
Preparing for Home After Rehab
Families of rehab patients are provided GoPro cameras to film each room in the home. These videos are uploaded to a virtual reality headset so that the patient can virtually walk through each room. Therapists can see the room on an accompanying iPad, helping the patient navigate. If changes need to be made — such as removing rugs to prevent falls, opening more space between a couch and table for a walker or wheelchair to get through, the therapist provides feedback before the patient heads home.
Augmented and virtual reality is creating worlds to see and meet people beyond the Hebrew Home’s Riverdale campus. With this new technology initiative, Hebrew Home residents are just a headset away from endless possibilities.
About RiverSpring Living
RiverSpring Living, backed by over 100 years of top-rated service as the Hebrew Home at Riverdale, provides progressive care to over 18,000 older adults of all faiths through compassionate care and vibrant community engagement, and is guided by Jewish values and a non-profit mission that advocates and celebrates a vision of empowered aging.

Hurricane Ian’s Impact on Direct-to-Consumer Pharmaceutical Fulfillment Exacerbates an Already Vexing Challenge.
MADISON, Wis. – October 12, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
TEC Mailing Solutions, LLC, launches new service to improve the deliverability of life saving, direct-to-consumer pharmaceuticals to track the changes of new mover data.
Just like the waves of an ocean, the population continues to ebb and flow nationally at the rate of thousands of people per day. The migration has been steadily building in Fort Myers for the last decade and now the flow is retracting, as thousands of misplaced households are on the move in a small region.
No matter how or which way the population flows, it is creating new challenges for cadence-based shippers, those fulfilling subscriptions and more importantly life-saving prescriptions. Residents of Fort Myers who were receiving their medications through the mail will be unable to obtain vital packages.
The best data source to track new residences and address changes is the USPS National Change of Address database, which maintains move update information for the prior 48 months. Providers like TEC Mailing Solutions have unique features for the pharmaceutical industry that apply to anyone who has moved and filed a change of address with the postal service.
“We’ve been tracking live return data from our Pharmaceutical clients and effectively implementing safeguards to ensure our clients enjoy the best deliverability,” explains President Brian Euclide, President of TEC Mailing Solutions. “Returns due to change of address is a billion-dollar problem. This is a challenge we’re honored to solve.”
There will be lessons learned from IAN. Data will reveal the scale of devastation. Thankfully, there is new thinking and technology from private industry taking these challenges head-on. TEC Mailing’s Verify & Confirm™ product stops orders and packages from going to vacant or abandoned homes, buildings and people who have recently moved. Verify & Confirm™ also finds the current address of those who have filed a change of address. TEC Mailing ensures that each address is not only correct and complete but also current, in a first-of-its-kind implementation, specifically for direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical fulfillment.
About: TEC Mailing Solutions LLC is a Software as a Service (SaaS) provider of name, address hygiene, bulk mail and parcel sortation services for web-to-print, CRM, OEM, ERP, and variable digital printing solutions. TEC Mailing’s services are embedded functions in applications to improve workflow or standalone web portals: MailListCleaner®, MailPreparer™, MailPieceTracker™, ParcelPrep™, and Verify & Confirm are available direct or through a network of resell/referral partners and VARs. Privately held, the corporate office is in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Find more information at http://www.tecmailing.com or call 866-379-9437.
