Efraim first learned about Obie through a virtual product demonstration and was blown away because the interactive gaming device was everything he was looking for and more! Efraim knew right away that he needed to install an Obie in every single one of his care centers. Efraim had high hopes that Obie could be helpful in providing his residents with a brand new activity that they would be really excited about playing and something to look forward to doing.

As soon as Obie was installed, his staff started ranting and raving about Obie, explaining how literally overnight, it helped to positively change the attitude and behavior of the residents. Before Obie, the residents were less social and lacked something to be excited about, and as soon as Obie was introduced, residents could not wait to come out of their rooms and engage with the device, and each other.

Obie has been instrumental in drastically changing the mood of the residents from them keeping to themselves and staying inside their rooms to helping foster an overnight interest in socializing with friends and being happier and more positive. Efraim’s staff is also extremely thankful for Obie because they are even seeing a major impact in even some of the most difficult residents. As soon as the residents start to play Obie’s engaging interactive games, their faces light up with delightment and joy. Obie has provided every single one of the Complete Care facilities with the digital transformation they have been craving for a while now and in addition, Obie is helping residents build confidence and foster independence and inclusion.

COVID has been particularly hard on the staff and residents world wide and Complete Care is not exempt. The pandemic has resulted in increased levels of anxiety, depression and loneliness as family and friends are no longer allowed to visit. Efraim feels that Obie is the perfect creative solution to help his residents experience more joy and happiness, as well as the important social interaction needed to keep residents’ spirits up. Obie provides easy entertainment with minimal direct contact with staff, limiting the spread of germs, making it very easy for Complete Care to stay in compliance with COVID health precaution measures. Obie is the ideal digital entertainment tool that has given Complete Care a competitive edge and also serves as a selling point to potential new residents.
