Brightview Senior Living welcomed more than 140 people to its third annual Bollywood Extravaganza in Alexandria, bringing residents, families, professionals and other community members together for a cultural celebration.
The Oct. 15 gathering featured Bollywood performances, traditional Indian music and cuisine, henna art and colorful attire reflecting the culture and history highlighted during the festivities. The event also provided networking opportunities for senior living professionals.
Sarah, the first horse to attend an Northern Virginia Senior Resource Network event, made a surprise appearance and quickly became the center of attention. Brought by Virk Equestrian Arts and Shadow Falls Equestrian, she posed for photos with attendees throughout the celebration.
Faiqa Clark and the Brightview Senior Living team coordinated the event in collaboration with the Northern Virginia Senior Resource Network. Care With Love, NurseAmerica, Dream Vacations, VivaNova Real Estate and Dulles Health & Rehab Center were among the local partners that contributed.
The annual celebration is intended to promote cultural diversity and social engagement within senior living communities.
