– Part 1 E.g.
 Many elderly are not aware of health issue that they have
 Some might ignore their health issue – not seeking medical advise
 Lack of knowledge in preventing falls
 Not bother traveling around to see different health professional
 Etc…
– So this intervention will allow them to see all the main health professionals at once
– Convenient – near where they live – easy to attend this session
– Free to attend
– Local – can go with their partners, neighbor and friends – more engaging (instead of going to medical centre or hospital as some elderly people do not like visiting those places)
– Etc…

 Not knowing where to join/attend such program
 Etc…

– Local – can go with their partners, neighbor and friends – more engaging and interactive
– Some of the fall prevention program out there only focus on one type of activities – this may lead to boredom – we have different activities for each week
