Good Day L.A. recently spoke to Belmont Village Hollywood Hills resident Mary Ann about what the COVID-19 vaccine means to her. All of her fellow residents and 85% of our staff at the community have also received the vaccine. View the story below.

For decades, old has been defined as beginning between the ages of 60 and 70. That means most people alive today will spend more years in elderhood than in childhood, and many will be elders for 40 years or more. Yet, at the very moment humans are living longer than ever before, we’ve made old age into a disease, a condition to be dreaded, disparaged, neglected, and denied. This presentation challenges not only the way we look at aging but also the way we think and feel about medicine and what it means to be a human being across the lifespan. .

If you weren’t familiar with the term social distancing before this pandemic you certainly are now. While social distancing is a critical preventive measure during this difficult time, it’s important to remember that all of us are at risk for social isolation and loneliness because of it. This timely, interactive and virtual program will examine the dangers of social isolation and loneliness while offering ideas on how to prevent it during this period of social distancing. Register at bit.ly/3244POY.

Join us for a virtual, interactive discussion on how to set limits in caregiving while still providing excellent care for your loved one. Those caring for seniors selflessly devote their time, energy and financial resources to making life better for a loved one, whether they are simply aging or struggling with a challenging health diagnosis. Despite their good intentions, many caregivers unintentionally take on too much, putting their own health and well-being at risk. When caregivers develop the martyr syndrome and are reluctant to look for or accept help, the consequences can be devastating. We’ll discuss useful tools and strategies to combat this syndrome. .

How do you help a client or patient who is experiencing compassion fatigue, burnout, and countertransference when they come to you for help? We’ll discuss this scenario, and what to do if you see signs of burnout in yourself or a colleague. . Register at bit.ly/326NNQn. . Register today to be one of only 500 participants.
