EINPresswire.com/ -- The Northwest Suburban office of Right at Home is proud to host an exclusive early screening of Caregiving, a powerful new PBS documentary executive produced by Bradley Cooper's Lea Pictures and WETA Washington, D.C. The event will take place on Thursday, May 1, 2025 at 6:00 PM in the Hendrickson Room at the Arlington Heights Memorial Library.
This special community event offers attendees a first look at the documentary ahead of its national PBS premiere. Caregiving explores the emotional, physical, and financial challenges faced by caregivers across the country, highlighting the strength, compassion, and perseverance that define their journey.
Following the screening, guests are invited to stay for a live 45-minute community panel discussion featuring local caregivers, aging specialists, and advocates. This interactive session will spotlight the caregiving experience, raise awareness about local resources, and create space for authentic, meaningful conversations among families and professionals alike.
"After more than 20 years serving families in our community, I've witnessed the immeasurable impact caregivers have both on their loved ones and on the broader community", said Jeanette Palmer, owner of Right at Home Northwest Suburban. "Caregiving captures the heart of that experience, and were honored to bring this important conversation to our neighbors."
Narrated by Emmy-winning actress Uzo Aduba, who brings her own caregiving journey to the project, the documentary is a collaboration between PBS, WETA, and the Well Beings campaign. It is supported by the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation and other organizations championing caregivers nationwide. Actor Bradley Cooper, who cared for his father during his battle with cancer, brings a deeply personal connection to the project and its mission.
