There is a lie that we have been conditioned to believe, that as a person ages, their bodies will weaken, their lives will become less meaningful and they will have less fulfillment .
Many of our seniors feel isolated and lost in our digital age. They feel that time has passed them by and while the world is moving at the speed of tech, they feel isolated and lost in this digital age. Physical isolation leads to a lack of mental stimuli and physical activity, which leads them to become more frail, alive but without the spark for life.
W started the Silver Surfers Initiative because we believe that we can help our parents and grandparents age well an continue to live happy, active, independent and fulfilled lives as they get older.
We use technology to create a safe space online specifically for seniors . We produce daily programming, with an exercise component as well as a variety of other programs specifically for our seniors. There are modules that help them learn new skills , to navigate the digital world safely or even use technology to help get them from place to place .
We also also have senior specific activities and contests that incentivize them to learn, engage and engage the community
Arrange for a time when you have at least half a day to hang out with your grandparent and plan fun things to do.
Meet your grandparent and hang out, while doing so, go through the activities you need to do to get them connected.
At the end of the day, after fulfilling the criteria, write a short report of what you learnt from the experience.
Our popular daily exercise program is targeted at helping seniors get mobile and healthier.
We help seniors get online and access content, helping them keep up with news and watch content.
Seniors learn to use devices, helping them communicate with family and enrich their lives with tools.
We engage our comunity daily, with contests and quizzes, motivating them to stay engaged with friends.
Seniors who learn skills no longer feel isolated and get the confidencethey need to live life to the full.
As seniors get fitter and learn skills they become less dependent and gain confidence to try new things.
