Presented by NH Theatre Project as part of its Elephant-in-the-Room Series, this important event features a screening of the 45-minute documentary The Time Before Goodbye: Navigating Eldercare, followed by a facilitated discussion with a panel of experts.

Based on extensive research and interviews with caregivers, elders, healthcare providers, assisted living and nursing home professionals, and state and municipal agencies across New Hampshire, the film explores the complex and often overwhelming eldercare system that many families must navigate. It addresses common myths and misconceptions, sheds light on how healthcare and support systems work, both for and against individuals, and highlights the real challenges faced by both caregivers and patients.

Powerful, personal, and informative, the film offers reassurance that elders and caregivers are not alone and that meaningful resources do exist, many of which are not widely known. The post-screening discussion invites audience participation and thoughtful conversation with experts in the field.

This is a must-attend event for older adults, caregivers, family members, and anyone who wants to better understand eldercare and planning for the future.
