Description of initiative
Switch2move is one of the leading organizations that is committed to the well-being of older people. Switch2move wants to create a better daily life for the elderly and in particular for people with health issues such as dementia and Parkinson. Switch2move is committed to these groups by offering combined exercise programs with the aim of improving: physical functions, thinking ability and general health. Switch2move gets people moving, using their own strength, so that strengths, weaknesses and needs are expressed in the movement. Self-direction and own strength are not self-evident for everyone and people are guided in this with the help of dance and music. The active aging programs lead to physical, mental and social improvements and caregivers see the effects - more fun and connection, less stress.
