�It’s a place where seniors can stay active, join exercises, workshops, and social activities like bingo or karaoke — all while staying connected in the community.
At first, my 70-year-old mum wasn’t sure if an AAC was for her. Here’s how I convinced her to join an AAC:
1️⃣ Explain what an AAC is�
If your loved ones don’t know what to expect, take the time to walk them through it. It might take a few conversations, and that’s OK!�
2️⃣ Understand their concerns�
Some seniors worry about how much time it takes or about socialising too much. Listen, reassure them, and show that they can choose activities that suit them.�
3️⃣ Start small�
Morning exercises are an easy first step — low pressure and perfect for introverts. Once they’re comfortable, they can try workshops, outings, and more.
Tip: They don’t have to join everything at once. The key is to find what makes them happy!
