There are certain topics that touch nearly every family in one way or another—and Alzheimer’s disease is one of them.
On Thursday, May 7, our community has a unique opportunity to come together for a meaningful and eye-opening experience at the historic Newtown Theatre. In partnership with Penn Memory Center and Senior Living Specialists, we’re inviting you to a free screening of the PBS documentary Matter of Mind: My Alzheimer’s.
Why This Event Matters
Alzheimer’s is more than a diagnosis—it’s a journey that impacts not only those living with the disease, but also the families who love and care for them. This powerful documentary follows the lives of three individuals and their families as they navigate the realities of memory loss, while still finding ways to live fully, love deeply, and stay connected.
It’s honest. It’s emotional. And most importantly, it’s real.
What to Expect
This is more than just a film screening—it’s a chance to connect, learn, and reflect.
- Location: Newtown Theatre, 120 North State Street, Newtown, PA
- Time: 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM (Film begins at 10:00 AM)
- Cost: Free and open to the public
- Bonus: Stay for a post-film discussion led by experts from Penn Memory Center
The discussion portion offers an opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and gain valuable insight into Alzheimer’s care, resources, and support systems.
Who Should Attend?
This event is for anyone who:
- Has a loved one living with Alzheimer’s or memory loss
- Wants to better understand the disease
- Is beginning to think about future care planning
- Simply wants to be more informed and compassionate in supporting others
Whether you’re personally affected or just looking to learn, this event provides a safe and supportive environment to do so.
A Community Conversation
As someone who works closely with individuals and families navigating major life transitions—including downsizing and moving later in life—I see firsthand how important it is to have these conversations early and openly.
Events like this remind us that we’re not alone. They give us tools, perspective, and—perhaps most importantly—a sense of community.
