A Community Functional Screening Programme by Health Promotion Board and supported by Kebun Baru Active Ageing Committee would be held on Sunday, 26th June 2011 at Kebun Baru CC. Time: 8.00a.m. to 12 noon. Ticket at $5.00 per pax. This screening exercise is for seniors aged 60 years and above.
Ageing is usually associated with a decline in functional ability, such as poor vision, difficulty in hearing and decreased leg strength and/or balance. These conditions can affect a senior's well-being and quality of life.
Health Promotion Board's Community Functional Screening Programme (CFSP) helps seniors detect early signs of functional decline. Early detection of functional decline, followed with appropriate treatment and lifestyle changes will enable our seniors to remain independent and active.
Screening is a series of simple tests and questionaires administered by healthcare professionals in the following areas -
PHYSICAL FITNESS, CONTINENCE STATUS, MOOD STATUS, VISION, HEARING, ORAL HEALTH
For further details refer to attached leaflet.
