OUR VISION
'Live to Move, Move to Live'
For all residents within Australian Aged Care Communities to have access to daily physical activity that promotes optimal physical functioning and social integration.
OUR VALUES
Equity and access
Effective exercise programming should be an integral part of any Aged Care community’s health and wellbeing strategy. Accessing Health Care Professionals to service this need presents varying logistical and financial challenges. Stronger Hearts offers a viable solution to these issues through targeting balance, strength, and functional mobility with a variety of 30 minute web-based exercise classes. Diversional Therapists, Leisure & Lifestyle Coordinators, Activity Officers, and Nurses are able to utilise this tool in conjunction with local Physiotherapy-led strategies to provide a tailored long-term exercise program.
OUR PURPOSE
Stronger Hearts envisions Aged Care communities where social interaction is fostered through movement-rich cultures. We are dedicated to enhancing health, wellbeing, and quality of life, ensuring that seniors are always valued and never forgotten. We engage in energetic partnerships with Ambassadors so that the benefits of movement can be realised in any Aged Care Facility or Day Centre.
OUR APPROACH
Stronger Hearts is a coaching-based exercise program for use in Aged Day Centres and Residential Aged Care Facilities to increase access and uptake of physical activity in response to the prevalence of frailty and social isolation experienced by many older Australians.
