Pre and Post Program Assessment

The Role of Pre and Post-Program Assessments

The pre-program assessment is a fundamental starting point in the Seniors in Motion program. This comprehensive evaluation includes a health history review, functional mobility testing, strength and balance testing, and vital measurements like heart rate and blood pressure. This initial assessment provides us with a clear understanding of each participant's baseline health status, allowing us to tailor the program to meet their specific needs and goals.


As seniors engage fully with the various components of the program, they embark on a journey towards improved health and wellness. This journey culminates with the post-program assessment, which mirrors the initial evaluation. By comparing the pre and post-program assessments, we can objectively measure the progress made during the program. This not only highlights the achievements of each participant but also helps identify areas where continued improvement can be targeted.


We strongly encourage seniors to actively participate in all aspects of the program. The more engaged you are, the greater the benefits you'll see reflected in your post-program assessment.

Vitals Measurement: We also measure your vitals, including heart rate and blood pressure. Monitoring these parameters provides us with valuable information about your cardiovascular health and overall fitness level.

Customizing Your Program: Based on the results of your pre-program assessment, we customize the program to meet your specific needs. Whether it's adjusting the intensity of exercise sessions or focusing on particular areas in the educational workshops, the assessment results guide our approach to your health journey.

Measuring Progress: Making Informed Health Decisions

The post-program assessment is a crucial component of the Seniors in Motion program, providing an objective measure of your progress. By comparing your health status before and after the program, we can clearly see the improvements you've made in areas like strength, balance, and overall wellness. This assessment not only validates the effort you've put into the program but also highlights areas where continued focus could lead to further health enhancements. Additionally, the results from the post-program assessment inform future health decisions, allowing us to refine your ongoing health strategy. They also contribute to the continuous improvement of our program, ensuring that we consistently provide the most effective and beneficial services to our participants.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does the pre-program assessment take, and what should I bring?

    The pre-program assessment typically takes about one hour. During this time, we conduct a thorough evaluation of your health status, which includes a review of your medical history and functional tests. It's important to set aside enough time for this assessment as it forms the basis of your customized program. As for what to bring, any information you have about your health would be valuable. This includes a list of medications you're currently taking, details of any chronic conditions, recent lab results, or any other health-related information. The more comprehensive the information, the better we can understand your health needs and tailor the program accordingly. We understand that each senior has unique health needs, and this assessment allows us to accommodate these individual differences and design the most effective program for you.

  • What kinds of improvements can I expect to see in my post-program assessment?

    The specific improvements you might see in your post-program assessment depend on your initial health status and the goals you set for the program. However, many participants see improvements in areas such as strength, balance, and overall mobility. These physical improvements often translate into enhanced ability to perform daily activities, promoting independence and quality of life. Additionally, through our educational workshops, you may gain valuable knowledge about managing your health. This could lead to improvements in areas like nutrition, management of chronic conditions, or understanding of medication use. The post-program assessment provides tangible evidence of the progress you've made during the program, reinforcing the benefits of your hard work and dedication. Moreover, it helps identify areas where continued focus could lead to further health enhancements.

  • How is the information from my assessments used?

    The information from your assessments is used in several ways. Your pre-program assessment helps us understand your current health status and design a program that addresses your unique needs. This personalized approach is one of the strengths of the Seniors in Motion program, ensuring that you receive the most relevant and beneficial interventions. After the program, your post-program assessment allows us to measure the progress you've made. This comparison provides a clear picture of how your health has improved, providing both motivation and validation of your efforts. Additionally, these results guide future health decisions, helping you maintain and build on the progress you've made. Finally, this information contributes to the continuous improvement of our program. By understanding the impact of our interventions, we can refine and enhance our program, ensuring it remains effective and beneficial for all participants.
