Upcoming event! Saving Claire: Documentary Screening & Conversation

This event is focused on one of the most critical issues in aging: fall prevention and promoting independence.

Saving Claire is a powerful documentary that tells the personal story of an older adult whose life was profoundly changed by a fall. While deeply personal, Claire’s story highlights a much larger reality: falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults.

Following the film there will be a group discussion and expert panel providing practical strategies, warning signs, and local resources to help older adults remain safe and independent at home.

We are Happy to be a part of Planning for Senior Life who is a key sponsor.

Date & Time: Monday, April 27 | 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM
Location: Friendship Heights Village Center
4433 South Park Avenue
Chevy Chase, MD

Registration: https://lnkd.in/ewvgWaz5

Pizza, popcorn and refreshments will be provided.

All are welcome- families, care partners, professionals, and community members.
