We’re Amintro, a recognized industry leader in providing a safe and engaging space for seniors to connect, learn and grow. Our free online social platform and companion app offer community and resources for adults 50 years+ including residents of retirement and senior living communities. Amintro was built to help increase the friendship circles of older adults by fostering meaningful connections based on shared interests, backgrounds, and aspirations. We believe in the old-fashioned power of simple friendship.
Amintro caters to seniors who are looking to make social connections through new friendships and interactive, online activities. Our users want to participate and be included in activities with others that share the same interests. They are looking for relevant information that supports healthy, active living.
Amintro members have the opportunity to build their social circles and community based on location, common backgrounds, and interests. Connections are made within a minimum of 5 km to a maximum of 100 km from a member’s location to allow members to connect based on their mobility realities and preferences and ensuring that members are being introduced to adults living in nearby communities, neighbourhoods, and retirement residences whom they can meet in person and build lasting friendships.
The World Health Organization (WHO), in conjunction with the United Nations, has declared 2021 through 2030 The Decade of Healthy Aging. It’s a global collaboration that recognizes the importance of reducing social isolation in seniors and encourages older adults to create and maintain relationships, to stay fit, eat well and age well. (1) We couldn’t be happier that our platform so clearly aligns with this global initiative and we invite other like-minded businesses to consider how they may want to be a part of Amintro’s efforts to support older adults. We want to offer our community members more and we’re looking for partners who believe in our goals and who have something of value to share. Because we cater to a very specific market and truly know and understand our audience, we’re able to offer partnerships with select agencies, platforms, services, and organizations that wish to connect with the Amintro audience. Whether you call them “Seniors,” “Mature Adults,” or “Older Adults,” the reality is older consumers are savvier than ever, they have money to spend and they are ready to enjoy the second half of life. We give them that space to connect with others who feel similarly and we’re inviting you to consider becoming a part of the Amintro platform.
Our company was founded with the sole purpose of acting as a social impact enterprise to combat senior social isolation and to help older adults live full, active and meaningful lives. Amintro is designed specifically for seniors and those family members who love and support them. Our audience includes older adults who are 50+ who utilize our social platform to make new friends locally, to attend virtual social events and webinars, to keep up to date on healthy aging with health, fitness and wellness strategies, to learn about travel opportunities, how important it is to establish a work/life balance, to learn new skills or to engage in new hobbies, learning opportunities and “bucket list” adventures with friends. Additionally, on our website, our social media pages, and through our Get Social e-magazine, we connect with mature adults interested in living a happier, healthier and more vibrant life.
I’m the daughter of a healthy, active senior, fully qualified in advanced neo-natal midwifery, who was widowed young. I watched a vibrant, intelligent and involved woman become more socially isolated and lonely and vowed to do something about it. My team and I have proudly watched Amintro grow exponentially ever since. Fuelled by a strong desire to provide only the very best in content, information, and educational opportunities, we now invite you to be a part of what’s happening at Amintro. You might choose to become involved as an Amintro content partner or to simply encourage your parents or your friends and family to enrol their parents. On the other hand, if you have an article to share, we’d love to hear from you. If you’re an organization thinking of offering a webinar or hoping to sponsor an in-person social event, we’d love to hear from you. In short, we’d love to hear from you if you are a professional, interested in partnering with Amintro in supporting seniors and reducing social isolation.
Visit our website and explore. We think you’ll agree, everyone at every age and stage of life is interested in living a healthy, active lifestyle. The urge to stay involved in community, to live life to the fullest and to enjoy the retirement years DOESN’T END when we turn a certain age because the truth is – we need to all approach life as if there is no finish line! Join a community of friends at Amintro.
