Virtual Santa for Assisted Living & Care Communities
A warm, patient conversation partner for residents — holiday visits, storytelling and friendly company any day of the year. Activity staff can start a session on a tablet or common-room screen in moments.
Why it works for your venue
No camera is ever required. Santa cannot see anyone, so guests never appear on video.
Runs in a normal web browser on a laptop, tablet or big screen — nothing to install.
Available 24/7/365, so the same tool works for holiday events and year-round programs.
Text Chat works in any language, Voice Call auto-detects 15 languages, and Live Video offers 20 languages.
Patient, unhurried conversation — residents can talk at their own pace.
