Healing Power of Friendship Grows With Age - Everyday Health

With globalisation, more senior citizens are living independently either as a couple or single. With increased social isolation or loneliness there is an increased risk of dementia, heart failure, stroke and upto 68% increased risk of hospitalisation (source: CDC). Lack of Digital literacy is adding to the social isolation of our seniors. 

​

Engage Buddies is an elderly empowerment service based on the emerging concept of positive ageing. The Positive Psychology Institute defines it as, “The process of maintaining a positive attitude, feeling good about yourself, keeping fit and healthy, and engaging fully in life as you age.” Social and productive engagement is a key component of  positive ageing. 

​

Our buddy connects online everyday with our senior, implementing a personalised version of our copyrighted Daily check-in program called Cheerful Endeavours. They engage, motivate and support our seniors to complete micro goals of their choice. It could be planning a vacation or recording their song video or trying a new dish or grow that elusive flower or just be in touch with the digital times or learn a new language. The buddy encourages them to share their achievements with fellow seniors on the wonderwall. The whole process creates a sense of purpose and achievement. An anchor in their day. We use the healing power of friendship to slow down physical and mental ageing. All while looking out with a trained eye for any warning signs*. We do our best to provide affordable solutions and take care to respect your privacy and preferences.
