Frequently Asked Questions

GENERAL INFORMATION

What is Together Senior Health?

Together Senior Health, Powered by Linus Health, is a company founded by brain scientists, movement therapists, and change makers to create better brain health outcomes for people with cognitive decline or memory loss and their caregivers.

Backed by over 15 years of scientific research in collaboration with National Institutes of Health (NIH), Alzheimer's Association, and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), we empower older adults to live their best lives by maintaining their health and independence at home, improving their social connections, and reducing the risk of further cognitive decline.

We provide engaging online group movement classes, activities, and resources through an easy-to-use digital platform that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your home.

Who is this program for?

The Moving Together program is a live-streaming group movement class designed for anyone who wants to support their brain health. Our classes were developed to be personalized and supportive for all levels of activity. Individuals who have experienced the full program have highlighted the benefits of social, cognitive, and movement activities.

Participants can attend the online classes alone for certain classes, or with a care partner or family member. When you use the Class Finder, take a look at your recommended class to see if a care partner might be required.*

*It may be required for a care partner to join a participant with more-advanced memory loss or physical symptoms. Care partners find the program helpful in managing stress, providing better care, and improving their bond with loved ones.

Who are the instructors, and what are their qualifications?

Our instructors are passionate about working with persons living with memory loss or individuals who want to be proactive about their brain health. All instructors have significant experience working with participants with Alzheimer's and dementia as well as group health and wellness support.

They have movement training certifications and a minimum of 2 years experience. They are trained by senior Moving Together instructors with over 20 years of experience in movement modalities which support brain health.

CLASS EXPERIENCE

How do online live classes work?

The Moving Together program allows you to participate from the comfort of your own home. One-hour group classes are offered online and take place once or twice weekly. Each class consists of the same instructor and up to 12 class participants or pairs, typically grouped by their level of physical and cognitive status.

You may also be offered optional cognitive assessments and 1:1 connection with your instructor to support your learning and reach your brain health goals. 

Participants get to know and form a bond with each other and their instructor during each class session. Movement and a sharing discussion follow a general curriculum but are tailored to each session to the group's needs.

What do I need to participate?

To attend our programs, participants should be able to:

  • Participate in a one-hour long session. Be comfortable sitting for an hour in a chair or wheelchair. For some classes, be comfortable in standing to work on balance. Recommend having a chair or counter to hold on to as needed.

  • Be relatively comfortable using technology for everyday internet activities, or have someone who can help access the online classroom via Zoom.

If you are unsure whether someone is appropriate for the Moving Together program, we recommend consulting with a doctor before starting the program or reaching out to our Customer Service support team.

Participants do not need any prior experience to participate in the Moving Together program, which may complement other activities they enjoy.

Do l need any specific technology or equipment to participate?

Participants need a broadband internet connection and a computer or a full-size tablet (Mac, PC, or iPad) with a camera and microphone that support streaming audio and video. 

Participants will also need a Zoom account to access to the virtual classroom. 

Participants should wear comfortable clothing and use a stable chair. Each participant will be sent exercise ball(s) to utilize throughout their program.

How much do the classes cost, and do I have to commit long-term?

The Moving Together program is offered at $20/class which is billed $160 per month.

This cost is the total for both the participant and if necessary, a caregiver (one Zoom window) to attend. We encourage at least 12 weeks (3 months) of participation for full benefit. You’ll pay for a month at a time, and you can cancel anytime. No long-term commitment required.
