“Empowering seniors to take control of their health and well-being, we partnered with Khoo Teck Puat Hospital to offer comprehensive health assessments for the elderly at the Active Ageing Centre (see picture). These assessments cover a range of physical metrics, including height, weight, grip strength, functional reach, standing stability, ability to rise from seats, and mobility. This initiative was hugely popular. Many more seniors joined the health assessments than we had anticipated.

The initiative not only empowered seniors to understand and take actions for improving their own health, but also provided valuable data to the centre for activity planning. By tailoring activities to individual fitness levels, we hope to increase engagement and help the Active Ageing Centre build a stronger sense of community among its members.”
