PVE-CARES Senior Health Fair will take place on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. at The Neighborhood Church located at 415 Paseo Del Mar, Palos Verdes Estates.

Palos Verdes Annual Senior Health Fair is offered by PVE-CARES (Community Assistance and Resources for the Elderly and Seniors). The program was created by the Palos Verdes Estates Police Department to assist seniors so they may live independently and feel safe in their homes on the Peninsula. The program offers many different events to increase awareness of city services for seniors – updating them on security issues, how to notify the police department when leaving on vacation to local assistance in health care and medical needs.

Palos Verdes homes owners will again be able to get information and medical screenings at the Wellness Fair. There will be free blood pressure readings and CPR demonstrations by the American Red Cross, free vision testing and glasses giveaway by the Lions Club, and free hearing testing & hearing aid cleaning by South Bay Hearing. This is an excellent time to take advantage of these great services and also to have a relaxing visit at one of the most beautiful locations here on the Peninsula.

This care program has free admission & refreshments.
