Health-Oriented Ageing
(HOA)
About HOA
Launched in 2013, our Health-Oriented Ageing (HOA) program caters to individuals aged 50 and above, delivering activities five days a week from Monday to Friday mornings. Due to the increasing number of participants, we've relocated the program to the multi-purpose hall of Geylang West Community Club, accommodating 80-100 seniors simultaneously.
The program comprises three components:
-
Exercises to maintain physical activity and delay mobility loss,
-
Art activities led by Professional Instructors (Movement & Dance, Taichi, Singing, Angklung, Arts & Crafts) scheduled throughout the week to stimulate cognitive functions and deter dementia progression, and
-
Lunchtime sharing sessions (optional dependent on lunch sponsors' availability and not daily).
Beyond enhancing physical well-being, HOA fosters a sense of community among seniors, providing a supportive social environment. Our vigilant team of professionals closely monitors participants for any signs of emotional or psychological concerns, ensuring timely intervention.
Enrolment is open to any senior interested in becoming a participant of the HOA program.
