BILLINGS - The Alzheimerâs Association announced Montana Project VITAL (Virtual Inclusive Technology for All), in partnership with the Montana Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (MGWEP). This project utilizes virtual technology to relieve the challenging symptoms of social isolation for residents in nursing homes, assisted living and memory care communities.
With one-time funding from the CARES Act, the Montana Project VITAL allowed for placement of ten iN2L tablets in six senior living communities statewide to help bring families together virtually, enhance engagement and mitigate feelings of social isolation. Additionally, the funding strengthened caregiver skills and resources by supporting virtual education programs.
