How often do you think about the demands and benefits of activities you do every day? There is a lot of complexity involved in getting dressed, driving the car, writing a shopping list or just going for a walk.
The ageing science is clear – healthy ageing is achieved by being physically, cognitively and socially active. This session encourages you to think about the activities we do every day, and how they can meet clients physical, cognitive and social needs for health and wellness.

Other modules in the Bitesize series:
Here are some other Bitesize presentations that you may find useful to download and present to your organisation:
What and why of reablement
The aim of this session is to enhance the understanding of the participants as to why a wellness and reablement approach increases the opportunity for clients to regain or maintain abilities, thereby improving their prospects of staying as independent as possible for longer.
The language of reablement
The aim of this session is to raise awareness of the features and the impact reablement language can have when working with clients to maintain or regain abilities.
Working with clients and low-risk assistive technology
The aim of this session is to enhance participants understanding of assistive technology (AT), their role in supporting clients to use low-risk AT, and how low-risk AT combined with a wellness and reablement approach provides greater opportunities for older people to remain living independently at home.
Introducing the LifeCurve
This Bitesize session aims to help participants understand and use the LifeCurveTM, a visual tool showing how abilities decline with age. It will demonstrate that older adults can have ‘more good days’ through positive lifestyle choices and support, equipping participants to promote reablement benefits to their teams and clients.
