Health coaching
"Health coaching aims to control risk factors of dementia by community nurses (CMNs) and wellbeing coordinators (WBCs). These include addressing chronic conditions and lifestyle aspects (diet, exercise, habits stress management, and sleep). Care recipients are encouraged to proactively manage their health journey and establish Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART) goals with the support of WBCs and CMNs. This multi-faceted approach has the potential to not only address older individuals' immediate health concerns but also foster long-term lifestyle changes. The frequency of visits are once or twice a month, depending on recipients' health status and cognitive functions.~Flexible scheduling is based on individual needs and community nurses' usual practice at the Community Health Post at AACs."
