Psycho-social Therapy
This aims at reducing distress and improving the psychological well-being of seniors. Our Geriatric Social worker performs a biopsychosocial assessment to gather details regarding all aspects of the senior's current state. These include mental & emotional health, behavior or mood, cognitive abilities, family relationships & support system, living environment, social life, financial situation, physical health, medical history, medication and treatment plans.
The therapist uses psychological methods to make positive changes to the lives of seniors and offers various forms of treatment. We provide individual, family and group therapy services for a variety of behavioral health conditions and psychological testing.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy gives back seniors their independence and makes daily tasks or Activities of Daily Living easier. Working with a physiotherapist does not only reduce pain, but it also helps improve overall strength and ability. It also reduces the risk of injuries which helps seniors to maintain a higher quality of life.
Physiotherapy is basically in the form of exercises, electrotherapy, massage, recommending and training the use of appropriate appliances/assistive devices, and providing education and advice on preventive measures. We perform group classes which are enjoyable for seniors as they can compete and encourage each other.
Occupational Therapy
The Occupational Therapist through evaluation identifies the components that may result in the senior's inability to perform functional activities and uses a holistic approach of treatment to improve such components which may include Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). IADLs are activities that allow an individual to live independently in a community. The ability to perform IADLs can significantly improve the quality of life for seniors. IADLs include cooking, cleaning, transportation, laundry, and managing finances among others. Occupational therapists commonly assess IADLs to determine the level of an individual’s need for assistance and cognitive function.
Sensitization and Primary Health Care is accessible to all seniors and caregivers. We provide a deep insight into the health challenges that come with ageing and how to take care of an ageing loved one. It is empowering to deal with any challenge from an informed point of view. These classes help prevent unnecessary panic in cases of health emergencies that come with ageing like strokes, diabetes, blood pressure, and bedsores among others.

To promote healthy lifestyles and independence for seniors and their caregivers so that they can enjoy the process of ageing.
Classes include topics like; Dementia support, Parkinson's Disease, Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Dental care, Nutrition, Polypharmacy, Personal care/ hygiene
Caring for the Needs of the Elderly. During our compassionate home visits, we conduct thorough needs assessments for the elderly under our care. By understanding their requirements, belongings, and necessities, we can better serve them. Shopping for essentials becomes an integral part of our support, and we carefully consider budget constraints to ensure their needs are met with care and consideration.
Empowering Seniors for a Fulfilling Life. At our organization, we are dedicated to bringing families and communities together to create cherished memories and embrace the journey of growing up, from grandparents to grandchildren. We understand the importance of recognizing that as we grow, our parents and grandparents are also ageing. Sadly, many times we realise this too late when they are already fragile and unable to enjoy the moments we wish to share with them fully.
Our mission is to bridge the generational gap and combat ageism by engaging the elderly in various meaningful activities. Through family get-togethers, outings designed for seniors, intergenerational initiatives, and community engagement, we aim to ensure that the elderly remain an integral part of society, valued for their wisdom and experience.
Enhancing Comfort and Safety Our commitment to our seniors extends to providing assistance with laundry and housework. We recognize that some elderly individuals may require help with these tasks, especially those who are fragile and lack support at home. Cleanliness, safety, and smart living environments are essential for their well-being, and we take pride in being a part of their journey toward a better quality of life.
Beyond physical support, we also place great emphasis on the spiritual growth of our seniors. We understand that spiritual well-being is a vital aspect of a fulfilling life. Through various programs and activities, we encourage self-reflection, peace, and contentment, fostering a positive outlook and inner strength for the challenges of life
