Interventions

OTHERCustomized activity plan

Clients with identified challenges to successful aging (pre-frail or frail on screening) will be invited to develop an individualized activity plan to increase mobility, strength, and stamina. Plans will combine activities to improve strength (resistance training), balance (balance exercises), and stamina, and establish weekly goals. Resistance bands and pedometers will be provided. Progress will be measured by self-reported adherence to the activity plan at week 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 (assessed by telephone at weeks 2, 4, 8 and in person at week 12 and 24). Depression questionnaire (PHQ-9), fatigue screen, exhaustion questions, and SF-12, a measure of health-related quality of life, will be administered at baseline, week 12 and 24.

OTHERCustomized nutrition plan

Participants with nutritional needs will have the option of meeting with a nutritionist to develop a personalized nutritional plan with a goal of improving diet quality and optimizing caloric intake. Progress will be measured as above.
