Amplar Health has signed an agreement with GemLife, a leading developer and operator of premium over-50s lifestyle resorts, to roll out its personalised healthy ageing program across GemLife communities, following the success of a pilot program that delivered encouraging results for residents on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
The 12-week program pilot, conducted in three GemLife communities, demonstrated the value of proactive, preventative healthcare, with 94 per cent of participants making positive progress towards their healthy ageing goals through personalised coaching and tailored healthy ageing plans.
The program empowers residents to take a proactive approach to their health through a comprehensive Healthy Ageing assessment, followed by a personalised plan focused on key lifestyle factors including nutrition, alcohol consumption, physical activity, social connection and mental wellbeing.
Participants are introduced to a healthy ageing coach who works with them throughout the program to identify their goals, establish practical actions and provide regular check-ins and motivation. Regular coaching sessions enable participants to stay on track, celebrate progress and adapt their plans as their needs evolve.
Under the new agreement, the 12-week program will be offered to eligible residents who move into one of GemLife’s lifestyle resorts over the next 12 months, opening access to the program to nearly 1,000 over 50s across NSW, VIC and QLD.
The service is delivered through a hybrid model, combining virtual coaching with Healthy Ageing Workshops and other community-based engagement events. Amplar Health’s coaches are experienced health professionals including registered nurses, exercise physiologists, and physiotherapists.
