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.
