Healthcare and nursingExit-seeking and missing residents
VR training module
Redirect the resident at the door. Know the plan when one is missing.
A resident with dementia is at the exit with her coat on, saying she has to pick up her children. Later, a resident can’t be found. Learners practice redirecting without confrontation and running the missing-resident procedure step by step.
- Every action, decision, and word recorded and analyzed
- Runs on Meta Quest headsets, managed from the Bubbler Hub
- Adapted to your procedures before rollout

- 01Meet the resident at the door
- 02Redirect
- 03Recognize a missing resident
- 04Run the search
- 05Report and follow up
Signs you need this
Signs your training needs more practice
Door alarms are routine
Staff silence alarms without checking who triggered them.
Redirection becomes a struggle
Staff block the door or physically steer residents, which increases distress.
Nobody knows the missing-resident plan
The procedure is in a binder, and few people have ever run it.
Search starts too late
Minutes pass before anyone confirms the resident is actually missing.
Families hear about it last
Communication after an incident is improvised.
What the module includes
5 chapters, in the order the work happens.
Learners can run the whole module or repeat a single chapter until they have it.
- 01
Meet the resident at the door
Approach calmly, walk with them, and join their reality instead of correcting it.
- 02
Redirect
Offer something familiar and meaningful, and guide them back without force.
- 03
Recognize a missing resident
Check the last time seen, confirm with colleagues, and start the procedure.
- 04
Run the search
Follow your facility’s search plan, assign areas, and notify the right people in order.
- 05
Report and follow up
Document the event and update the care plan.
What gets recorded
Every attempt, analyzed step by step.
- Approach
- Whether the learner joined the resident or confronted them.
- Redirection
- What was said and whether the resident went willingly.
- Response time
- Time from noticing the resident was missing to starting the procedure.
- Procedure
- Each step of the search and notification plan, in order.
Built around your work
Your procedure, not a generic one.
- Your building layout and exits
- Your missing-resident procedure and code
- Who is notified, and in what order
- Your documentation forms
Your subject-matter experts review the module before anyone trains on it.
- 01
Live view
Watch what the learner sees in the headset from a laptop or tablet, with the current task, step, and progress. The video stream isn’t stored; the session record is.
- 02
Session record
Every step taken or missed, in order and timed, plus the decisions the learner made and what they said.
- 03
Learner history
Every attempt for each person, so you can see what improved and what still needs another run.
- 04
Program dashboard
Completion across the group, the steps most people miss, and who needs another attempt or a conversation.
- 05
Reports and exports
Dated completion reports for each person, as PDF or data files, for training files, audits, and accreditation.

About this module.
Yes. We model your unit and exits so staff practice the search they would actually run.
