The movie will be shown after the discussion.
Join us for a cocktail and appetizer as we enjoy the retro-vintage musical style of the U.S. 99 Duo, a staple of the Southern California music scene.
Join us for an informative session focused on Parkinson’s Disease awareness and management. Learn about primary symptoms, causes and treatment approaches, and have an introduction to the members of the healthcare team and the role they play.
Please join resident Lynn as she discusses “From Garage to Gershwin, The Story of My Life with Music and Movement!”
Sit back and enjoy this beloved film starring James Cagney and Joan Leslie. This 1942 biographical musical drama is about George M. Cohan, who was born on July 4, and known as “The Man Who Owned Broadway”. Just like a movie theater we will have fresh popcorn and soft drinks. See you at the movies!
Clocks spring forward in March and so do our residents. Always busy and ever curious, this month saw a variety of events and performances for residents to enjoy. It is this kind of active lifestyle that allows those at The Canterbury to live life on their own terms and feel their best.

Film expert Theo Siegel was back with his Day at The Movies series, this time to discuss “12 Angry Men”. Theo’s intimate knowledge of film and film history made attendees feel like they were part of the crew. Released in 1957, the film stands as a powerful testament to justice and judgement. Theo talked about the history of the director, the plot, the actors and everything that defines this film as one of the greatest courtroom dramas ever made.
