The inability to leave home is the biggest barrier to seeing the world’s great artifacts, treasures, and works of art. This problem is worse for those in senior care. Agoura Hills, CA seniors suffering from chronic health conditions, or who need live-in care, naturally can’t make the trip to Paris, Rome, London, or the other places where these wonders are kept.
But, while there is nothing like physically stepping up to Rodin’s The Thinker, or seeing the Rosetta Stone with your own eyes, a lack of mobility doesn’t mean you can’t experience these things virtually. You can go around these museums without leaving your residential assisted living in Agoura Hills, CA.
