ALMOST HOME is a feature-length documentary that follows the daily lives of residents and staff at Saint John's On The Lake, a retirement community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Through a memorable cast of characters, candid interviews and true-life drama, ALMOST HOME presents real stories of aging-frightening, tender, funny, surprising and honest. At Saint John's, an upscale retirement community with bright, spacious living quarters, residents mingle for afternoon cocktails, choose their own daily schedules and pursue hobbies like woodworking and playing bridge. But they also struggle with the mundane and often unspoken facts of aging: including disability and dementia, changing relationships and shrinking independence.

FREE for NATAS Members and one guest. Please bring your Member ID or a copy of this email for admittance.
