This document describes a virtual home environment created in Second Life called the Ideal Home for senior citizens. The home includes a kitchen, exercise path, and two apartments used for a game called Viva-Game to provide a learning and development environment for older people. The project was managed by Päivi Tiilikainen from 2010 to 2013 to create a renewed virtual learning environment for older adult care studies.
