The Wellness 2 Age program is an evidence-based 10-week program that uses a person-centred dual tasking approach.
The program supports a focus on individual goals within a group-based setting, and uses strategies to support translation into a person’s home and community. To determine success in the program, we use a range of outcome measures that are completed on weeks 1 and 10 of the program.
Each weekly 60-minute session starts with a short 10-minute introduction, discussing specific and individualised strategies, followed by completion of two different activities of 20 minutes duration, that challenge both motor and cognitive abilities. The session closes with a 10 minute feedback and review discussion. Each of the activities have been specifically developed to simulate skills integral to daily functional tasks such as balance, mobility and strength, planning, problem solving, attention and memory.
