The Challenge
Doris was unable to attend her local strength and balance class due to Covid-19 restrictions. Doris was feeling isolated, unable to connect to her local community and was concerned she would lose her independence.
The Change
I supported Doris remotely to access and use an app to formulate goals and set herself tasks and access the community section of the application to improve her overall health and wellbeing and maintain her independence.
The Impact
After five weeks of using the app, Doris’s confidence and ability to participate in valued occupations has improved. Doris now supports older adults in her building to use the app to self-manage their ageing journey.
