What Stride Protects

The life you love is worth protecting.

Aging doesn't have to mean losing the things that matter. Stride prevents decline before it starts, one minute at a time.

01

Keep doing the things you love

Gardening. Cooking. Travelling. Walking. Keeping up with your grandkids. Stride keeps your body and mind capable of the life you refuse to give up on, for as long as possible.

02

Thrive wherever you are

Whether you're at home, in a retirement community, or anywhere in between, Stride keeps you strong, confident, and in control.

03

Give the people you love peace of mind

When your loved ones see you active and thriving every day, they worry less. Stride lets you show them, not just tell them, that you're doing well.

Who Stride Is For

Made for you, and the people who love you

For older adults

Getting up from the couch without grabbing the armrest. Remembering why you walked into a room. Doing your own shopping. That's what Stride is for.

  • Chair-friendly and standing options
  • Brain games themed around your hobbies
  • Works on any phone, tablet, or computer, no tech skills needed

For families

You can't always be there. Set Stride up once, remotely, in a few minutes. After that, they use it on their own every day.

  • Set up remotely in minutes
  • Optional progress updates, only with their consent
  • Exercises built by a licensed physical therapist

Our Story

Stride started with family.

When Sam experienced cognitive and mobility decline firsthand, he saw how quickly independence can slip away. Stride is his answer to that, built so older adults can keep living on their own terms.

The goal of Stride is simple: make it so easy and so enjoyable to stay active that older adults never have a reason to stop.

That idea came out of 100+ conversations with older adults, families, and care organizations across North America.

Why Clients Leave

Your clients leave when their health does.

It ends one of two ways, and both usually start with a fall or a slow slide into inactivity.

Path one — decline and death
25%of older adults who suffer a serious fall die within 12 months
30%higher risk of early death when activity drops after a dementia diagnosis
Path two — a move into long-term care
1 in 3older adults fall every year
40%of nursing home admissions follow a fall
~30% annual client turnover in home care, most of it driven by exactly this

How Stride fights it

01

Daily balance and strength work targets the fall that starts the spiral.

02

Brain games keep cognition engaged when a diagnosis would otherwise mean inactivity.

03

5 minutes a visit, built into care you already deliver, so it actually happens.

Steadier clients stay home. Clients who stay home stay on your roster.

“Our clients struggle to stay active on their own. Stride solves that by keeping them moving every day.”
Josh BrandesOwner, Provide Home Healthcare
