After observing many seniors spending their days sleeping away, Joel realized that something needed to change.

“How can I inspire these residents to start moving?” he asked himself.

The answer came through his young child, who showed him the joy of playing with everyday materials. Joel began introducing simple, fun activities to seniors, transforming their routines with games and exercises that get them moving, smiling, and engaged.

Through his videos on social media, you’ll see Joel connecting with seniors in the most creative and fun ways.

"The most beautiful thing is to see the participants' smiles!" he says.

Joel believes that when movement is made fun, it no longer feels like exercise.

"Play is the key to getting activated!" he says.

Joel's actions remind us that life never pauses, and it's worth living it with more joy and positivity.
