JOBING DESCRIPTION: I have been bringing my Xbox Kinect into senior centers for years.
Now with Virtual reality I have been able to secure a contract with
the city of Phoenix parks & recreation/senior centers.
We will be scheduling blocks of time to bring our gaming systems
(Oculus Rift & Oculus Touch/or/Xbox Kinect) into the city
facilities to setup the gaming, document it & post it to social
media. Keep track of who has played, whose turn it is. Interact
with people & making notes of their comments. Opinions.
Right now our contract begins on 7/1/2017. Each day you work you
submit an invoice when finished at the centers. City pays 30 days
later. On a daily basis. (this is the difficult part that I have no
control over).
We do not know how busy we are going to be. This is hopefully going
to turn in to many more hours. Many more positions. Right now, I
only anticipate it as part-time work. We will allow for morning,
afternoon & possibly evening hours at assisted living facilities.
Senior center hours are M-F 8 am-5 pm & community center hours:
Monday to Thursday: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Friday: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Closed Sundays and holidays

Description
Let me share a my greatest moment yet. I was with a lady who I am going to refer to as Ms.Jones, who is 85 years old. We put the headset on the resident. We started "Google Earth" And we typed in the correct address the family had provided. Ms.Jones has Alzheimer’s & doesn’t speak very coherently these days. In seconds Ms.Jones was in the front yard of her home from 70 years ago. It took her almost no time at all to recognize her home. Spinning around & being able to see the same home she saw every day outside her home for years growing up. Ms.Jones said "see, I told you we’d be home before dark"." She was talking almost as clear as day. Like she was talking to her sibling.Mrs.Jones has been talking about stories from her childhood home ever since.This elicited tears from everyone around & a few that have heard the story.Lives Revived & Memories Survived
For the 1st decade of this charity existence was myself going into each & every event. Covid has influenced our programming in senior living homes.
we plan on gifting virtual reality to each senior living home, one at a time. This will create the opportunity for a computer & game to be utilized 24/7 instead of just during my weekly or monthly visits. Creating gathering places for the volunteers to focus.
