Four bowling teams from Erickson Communities across the nation battle it out to be Erickson Sports’ first Wii Bowling Tournament Champions.
The teams, all full service retirement communities, are:
The Sedgebrook Alley Cats in Naperville, Illinois
The Texas Highlanders at Highland Springs in Dallas
The Mighty Oaks of Oak Crest in Baltimore, Maryland
The Greenspring Strikers in Springfield, Virginia
Nintendo Wii is a great way to help residents get exercise and build camaraderie. Simply put…it’s a lot of fun.

The video of the Wii tournament is great! It really shows how “edutainment” technology can help older adults stay healthy and have a little fun at the same time.
I only wish that the teams were able to at the briefing demonstration our Center for Aging Services Technologies co-sponsored with the Senate Aging Committee last week. The purpose was to show how better public policy could help more seniors get access to technologies that would improve their quality of life and health. And I think a few games with the Alley Cats could’ve done just that!
