Health camps, activities and classes for senior residents — at your apartment

Most apartment complexes in Hyderabad have thirty to a hundred residents over sixty. They are in the building every day, often alone for most of it, and most associations have no programme for them beyond a seat on the committee and a chair in the lobby.

Satoru Foundation runs health, memory and activity programmes for senior residents, in your building, at a time your committee chooses. We bring the staff, the equipment and the paperwork. You provide a hall, a few tables and someone to tell residents it is happening.

A free health and memory screening camp

A half-day camp for residents over fifty. Blood pressure, blood sugar, grip strength and mobility, plus a validated memory screening using the same tools used in hospital geriatric clinics. Every resident leaves with their own printed results and, where something needs attention, a clear explanation of who to see next.

Three to four hours. Suitable for fifty to a hundred and fifty residents. No charge to the association or the residents.

What we need from you: a hall or covered space, six tables and twenty chairs, one power point, and two volunteers to manage the queue.

Cognitive and movement activity sessions

A regular group session for senior residents, built around the things that hold up in research: structured mental activity, light physical movement, and other people in the room. Memory games and recall work, conversation and reminiscence, seated exercise, balance and coordination.

Groups of twelve to twenty. Sixty to seventy-five minutes, weekly or fortnightly, run by trained facilitators in Telugu, English or Hindi. For more information, call +91 99594 85500.

This is not a hobby club and it is not therapy. It is structured engagement for people whose days have become quiet, run by people who know what they are doing. Residents who need individual support can see our counsellors for seniors.

Technology classes

Four sessions that take a senior resident from nervous to independent on a smartphone: video calls with children abroad, WhatsApp without fear of breaking something, UPI payments safely, booking a cab, and spotting the messages that are trying to cheat them.

Small groups, one device per person, taught slowly and repeated as often as needed. For more information, call +91 99594 85500.

Money and fraud awareness

A single two-hour session on the things that cost older people most: pension and bank paperwork, what to keep and where, the common frauds currently running in Hyderabad, and what to do in the first hour after being cheated. Family members are welcome and usually learn more than the residents.

For more information, call +91 99594 85500.

How to book

Call +91 99594 85500 or email office@satorufoundation.org with your building's name and roughly how many senior residents you have. We will send a one-page proposal with dates, and we are happy to come and meet your committee first.

Satoru Foundation is a Section 8 non-profit. The free camps are funded by our programmes and by donations.
