\u201cVintage Vloggers\u201d is a unique initiative launched by Desir\u00e9eVlekken the founder of 4get-me-not, a social enterprise that focuses on seniors (60yrs+) as part of its mission to address Alzheimer’s disease.<\/p>\n

The concept of \u201cVintage Vloggers\u201d came about when Desir\u00e9e found it difficult to find suitable restaurants and caf\u00e9\u2019sserving senior citizens; as their requirements include accessibility, healthier food options and comfortable seating amongst other aspects; she was surprised to learn that there was no blog or reviewer in the region that catered to this segment.<\/p>\n

Desir\u00e9eVlekken – founder of 4get-me-not<\/strong> says \u201cThis discussion begged the question, \u2018where can senior friendly-meals be found anyway? \u2028Just over Thai lunch last week, I convinced two of our coolest seniors Mr. Puji and Mr. Hafez to be the 4get-me-not Vintage Vloggers! The challenge was for both seniors and myself to embark on a Food Road Trip in search of the senior friendly meal in the UAE.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of our main missions at 4get-me not is <\/em>to actively create a favourable environment for seniors to feel happy by preserving their memories and creating opportunities for meaningful engagement and by establishing a platform like \u201cVintage Vloggers\u201d with Mr.Pujji and Mr. Hafez we come closer to our goal of integrating seniors in our community and protecting them from self isolation\u201d,<\/em> addsDesir\u00e9e<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vintage Vloggers (VV) are set to review restaurants and cafes across the UAE, some of the points to keep in mind when inviting (VV) to review a place is, as a standard procedure there must be a lot of Tender Loving Care (TLC) for senior citizens because that is on top of the list. \u2028Attendants should be sufficiently trained and must possess valuable information when serving senior customers. It\u2019s very helpful if the menu or their F & B recommendations highlight nutritional value, level of salt, sugar and spice, meal size and portions, etc. Food outlets should understand that seniors can be loyal customers too and will keep coming back when they genuinely feel valued as a consumer. Comfortable seating chairs with good back support is a plus. Senior discounts also would give the place a high rating on the Vlog.<\/p>\n

The Vlog will appear on 4get-me-not Alzheimer\u2019s Youtube channel:<\/p>\n
