Small Business for Women Challenge

Aging is a natural part of life, but with the right support, education, and healthcare, people aged 65 and above can continue to live fulfilling, active, and independent lives. At Transforma Sanitas Network (TSN), we recognize the unique health challenges faced by older adults and are committed to addressing their needs through Project 65+, a specialized initiative focused on health awareness, prevention, and support for seniors.

Our Mission

Project 65+ is dedicated to:
✔ Enhancing health literacy among older adults.
✔ Preventing age-related illnesses through early intervention.
✔ Providing regular health screenings and check-ups.
✔ Offering emotional and social support to combat isolation and loneliness.
✔ Promoting active aging through wellness programs and lifestyle guidance.

Key Activities of Project 65+

1️⃣ Health Awareness and Prevention Programs

Many age-related diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, and dementia, can be prevented or managed with proper awareness and lifestyle choices. TSN organizes health education sessions to help seniors and their caregivers understand the importance of:

✔ Healthy Nutrition – Promoting balanced diets for seniors to improve immunity and overall well-being.
✔ Physical Activity – Encouraging age-appropriate exercises like walking, yoga, and stretching to maintain mobility.
✔ Mental Health Support – Raising awareness about depression, anxiety, and memory-related conditions like Alzheimer’s.
✔ Medication Management – Educating seniors on proper use of medications to avoid complications.

2️⃣ Regular Health Screening Programs

Early detection is key to managing health conditions in older adults. Project 65+ organizes free or low-cost health screening events where seniors can get checked for:

✔ Blood pressure and cardiovascular health
✔ Diabetes and blood sugar levels
✔ Bone density and osteoporosis risks
✔ Vision and hearing impairments
✔ Cognitive function and memory decline

These screenings help detect potential health issues early, ensuring timely medical intervention and better quality of life.

3️⃣ Community Support and Social Engagement

Social isolation is a significant issue among older adults, affecting both mental and physical health. Project 65+ creates a strong support network for seniors by:

✔ Organizing group activities and peer support circles to combat loneliness.
✔ Providing counseling and emotional wellness programs to address anxiety and grief.
✔ Hosting intergenerational events where seniors interact with younger community members to share experiences and wisdom.

4️⃣ Home-Based and Assisted Care Support

For seniors who are unable to access healthcare facilities due to mobility challenges or chronic illnesses, TSN extends its services through:

✔ Home visits by healthcare professionals for wellness check-ups.
✔ Training for family caregivers on proper elderly care techniques.
✔ Providing assistive devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, and hearing aids for those in need.

5️⃣ Advocacy for Elderly Health Rights

Project 65+ works to ensure that the rights and needs of older adults are recognized at policy levels. We advocate for:

✔ Improved healthcare accessibility for seniors in underserved areas.
✔ Age-friendly policies in healthcare facilities and social institutions.
✔ Government support for affordable medications and senior wellness programs.

Why Project 65+ Matters

With increasing life expectancy, the global population of seniors is growing, making it more important than ever to prioritize their health, dignity, and well-being. Project 65+ is a step toward ensuring that aging is not a burden but a fulfilling chapter of life where seniors remain healthy, engaged, and valued in society.
