OUR HEART
We believe that our Silver years should be a purposeful, active, connected and exciting one. How we craft programs should individually reflect that.
01
Active Aging Centres
Same old monotonous one-size-fit all programs? Engagements which only cater to one or two at a time? Trouble sourcing for different vendors to create meaningful, holistic programs? Active Silvers is here to alleviate those stressors for your care centres.
02
Fresh Weekly, individualized & Customized
Fresh weekly engaging programs are customised and cater specifically to the individual according to their CFS scores, needs and abilities within a communal setting. Elements of gamification are added to ensure that things don’t become monotonous and the elderly effectively (re)learn new skills
03
Evidence Informed
We are pioneers of elderly functional fitness in Singapore with 20 years of experience and expert consultation. Our program uses functional movements which are safe, necessary and essential to improve the quality of life for all. We go by what works, as such, there'll be assessments conducted periodically and tweaks made to ensure (and show) effectiveness.
04
Purposeful Community
Our programs are set in a communal setting and through it, we create opportunities for interaction. Our programs are also social in nature which require communication and at times, gamification of the program itself.
05
Volunteerism & Giving Back
Through our own events, we provide opportunities for volunteerism and giving back through the use of their fitness. In the long term, we also provide opportunities for seniors to be 'Fitness Champions' and volunteer for the program.
Our Methods
How does it work?
The platform is operated by community staff or 'fitness champion'.
The application can be used in groups of up to 5, or in larger groups (preferably with the same Clinically Frailty Score)
Screening
A movement assessment and questionnaire is done (and periodically retested) to evaluate beneficiaries’ fall risk, mobility, ADL level and Clinical Frailty score.
Prescription
Through the prior screening, the backend AI accords individual movements and exercises uniquely to each person based on their results. Resulting in close to 600 variations.
Execution
The center's staff or fitness champion is trained by Active Silvers and they assist beneficiaries in navigating given programs via the platform, which are social in nature
What makes us unique? It's simple, we're in the business of helping make life better. We take time to comprehend the pain points of care communities and we care about them.
We give you room to breathe and focus on taking care of the elderly and outreach.
Our solution simplifies your workload by helping to achieve various objectives, such as Physical, Social and Volunteerism goals (and reduce cost). We help remove the decision fatigue in working with vendors constrained by manpower.
We are committed in creating effective programs to help improve their quality of lives, with close to 20 years of experience and expert opinion
Through our programs, a key focus is elderly engagement by keeping the program robust and fun. Sustainability is key for us, to maintain a high level of motivation and in turn, enhance overall well being.
