Directions Website

The Next Chapter of the Hollywood Senior Center. Connecting our community to resources since 1973.

The Community for Positive Aging is a 501c3 not-for-profit, age-positive hub that offers a multitude of no-cost donation-based services, a devoted team enhanced by peer-run programs, and resources that empower you to learn, connect, and grow as you
age. While our services are designed with attention, compassion, and respect for those age 55 and older, we believe that younger and older generations alike share attitudes and experiences that reflect positive aging, and we’ve created a place where everyone, regardless of who they are, feels part of this community.

We had a full house at Marshall Union Manor for our Fall Prevention Workshop in collaboration with Providence Health & Services - Oregon Region.

A physical therapist shared practical fall-prevention tips, and participants completed a Fall Risk Assessment to better understand their individual risk factors. A pharmacist also provided private medication consultations, while participants enjoyed an introduction to gentle, low-impact chair Tai Chi. Two professional interpreters provided real-time Chinese interpretation, including medical terminology.

Thank you to Providence HealthCare and all the professionals and interpreters for making this valuable workshop possible! Fall prevention is an important part of helping older adults stay safe, healthy, and independent. ❤️
