Renew Me
Renew Me supports older adults facing age-related loss of muscle strength and function.
By combining physical exercise, rehabilitation technology and nutritional guidance, the program is designed to help older adults preserve strength, mobility and independence for as long as possible.
As people age, they can gradually lose muscle mass and strength. This makes everyday movement harder, increases the risk of falls, and can reduce the independence of older adults.
Age-related decline in muscle mass makes movement harder.
Reduced strength raises the risk of falls and related injuries.
Everyday activities become more difficult, limiting independence.
As the U.S. population ages, helping older adults stay strong and independent is a growing national priority.
adults age 65 and older report a fall each year — more than 14 million people.

people supported through the Renew Me model to date. This cumulative experience has taken place primarily in Mexico as Joy of Giving USA establishes its programs in the United States.
Renew Me serves older adults who want to preserve their strength, mobility and independence.

We combine physical exercise, rehabilitation technology and nutritional guidance to help older adults preserve muscle function and independence. Technology supports the program — it is not the goal.

Better muscle function, strength and independence.
Every program follows the same general, person-centered path — the clinical detail is tailored to each person by qualified professionals.
A person is referred or reaches out, and we gather their history and goals to see how the program can help.
Qualified professionals evaluate each person's condition and needs before any treatment begins.
A rehabilitation plan is designed around the person's specific situation and objectives.
The person attends structured therapy sessions, supported and adjusted by their care team.
Rehabilitation technology is applied as a tool within the plan — never as the goal in itself.
We track progress against each person's goals and adapt the plan as they improve.
The approach below is provided for professional and funder review. Care is always delivered and adapted by qualified professionals.
Renew Me is designed to help older adults preserve muscle strength and function and reduce the impact of age-related decline (sarcopenia).
The program combines physical exercise, electro-stimulation and nutritional guidance, following recognized clinical guidance for assessing age-related muscle loss. Care is adapted to each person by qualified professionals.
Because Joy of Giving USA is building this program, we describe the outcomes it is designed to support — not results we claim to have already achieved in the U.S.
These are the indicators Joy of Giving USA is designed to track, so funders can understand how a grant would be evaluated.
