MAY 15 AND 17: Lives Well Lived

In 2012, Sky Bergman began filming her then-99-year-old Italian
grandmother, Evelyn Riciutti (shown), so she could preserve her
grandmother’s recipes. While filming, she asked questions about
life and requested words of wisdom. What started as a personal
project turned into a documentary featuring 40 people sharing
their intimate memories, personal histories and insights into living
a meaningful life. Lives Well Lived: Celebrating the Secrets,
Wit and Wisdom of Age will screen one night only at the Maple
Theater in Bloomfield Township. The film will be introduced by
Temple Israel’s Rabbi Jennifer Kaluzny and will be followed by
a Q&A with filmmaker Bergman. $10/adult; $8/seniors and stu-
dents. Mapletheater.com. The film will also be shown May 17 at
the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor as a fundraiser for Big Hearts
for Seniors, Michigan Medical. Michtheater.org.

AQUATICS THERAPY POOL

Notting Hill of West Bloomfield is focused on
short-term in-patient rehabilitation, with the goal of
transitioning back home. We are happy to announce
the opening of our Aquatics Therapy pool. Aquatic
Therapy uses water’s naturally therapeutic properties
of buoyancy, resistance and warmth to enhance the
therapy experience. Since not all people respond
well to traditional gym exercise programs, many
people find aquatic therapy less stressful, preferable to
traditional methods...and FUN!

Why Choose Aquatic Therapy?

Gently builds strength
and muscle tone
Increases blood circulation
Improves range of motion
Decreases joint stress
