🚨⭐Why Did We Create IhomaWorld? ⭐🚨 I want to talk to you about why we built IhomaWorld. When we started designing IhomaWorld, we didn’t begin with a product. We began with people. People who receive services through Medicaid waiver programs. People who live with disabilities. People who are often left out of the conversation when it comes to innovation, fun, and freedom. And we listened closely. What we heard, over and over again, were some very real, very raw pain points. We heard that leisure time often looks the same, day in and day out. repetitive, uninspired, and honestly, boring. We heard about the isolation. not just physical, but emotional. People feeling disconnected from their communities, their peers, from life. We heard that so many services are overly clinical and task-driven. That there’s little time carved out just for joy, exploration, or even silliness. the very things that make us feel human. And we heard frustration with tech. systems and platforms that weren’t made with accessibility in mind, or worse, made without the input of the people with disabilities. So we decided to build something different. IhomaWorld is our answer to those problems. It’s a digital space, accessible by VR headset, and soon computers, phones, tablets, that is designed specifically for the overall disability community. Inside IhomaWorld, you’ll find: • Real opportunities for connection and community. • You will find Interactive, meaningful leisure. • you will witness A platform that’s safe, inclusive, and easy to navigate. • And most importantly, fun that’s aligned with service goals. so it supports progress, not distracts from it. We didn’t build IhomaWorld just to entertain. We built it because leisure matters. Because engagement matters. Because people deserve more than task lists and checkboxes, they deserve joy, autonomy, and a space to just be themselves. So when someone logs into IhomaWorld — maybe to dance, to play a game, to hear a lecture, or to talk one-on-one with a healthcare provider — they’re not just killing time. They’re living. Thank you — and welcome to IhomaWorld. If you'd like to learn more please visit - https://www.ihomahealthcare.com/ihomaworld
