FARMINGTON — SeniorsPlus will present a Senior Resource Fair from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 30, at Mt. Blue High School, 129 Seamon Road.
The expo will feature workshops and information booths, and is is a learning opportunity for adults, including on topics like falls and scams, organizers said in a news release.
A complimentary breakfast, prepared by Mount Blue High School culinary students, will be served, and the event is free and open to the public.
Three workshops will be offered covering a variety of topics — falls safety, advance directives and scams. The scams program will be led by a representative from the Maine attorney general’s office. Several students from the University of Maine at Farmington will present a session on creating a legacy by documenting personal stories for the benefit and enlightenment of future generations. There will also be a live broadcast (WKTJ), including personal stories by local World War II veterans on their experiences.
The Senior Resource Fair will showcase area agencies and programs providing support and services for older adults in the Farmington area. Guests will have the opportunity to learn about these different organizations, what they offer, and how they can help older adults in Franklin County to continue to live at home. SeniorsPlus will have a table with staff members to answer questions about our services. For more information, visit www.seniorsplus.org or contact Mary Richards at mrichards@seniorsplus.org or 207 864-2645.
The Senior Resource Fair is presented by SeniorsPlus in collaboration with its community partners on a three-year Maine Health Access Foundation (MeHAF) “Thriving in Place” (TiP) grant focusing on the Farmington and Rangeley communities. The goal of the TiP grants is to assist people with chronic health conditions to stay healthy in their homes rather than needing hospital or nursing home care.
Established in 1972 and headquartered in Lewiston, SeniorsPlus is the Western Maine designated Agency on Aging covering Franklin, Oxford and Androscoggin counties.
