LEWISTON — SeniorsPlus will present the third annual Senior Resource Fair from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 29, at Mt. Blue High School in Farmington.
The event will feature workshops and information booths and is a learning opportunity for adults. A complimentary breakfast will be served.
The resource fair is free and open to the public. Three workshops will be offered covering Healthy Living for ME and its programs for improving health; changing gender roles in society and avoiding scams.
The fair will also showcase area agencies and programs that provide support and services for older adults in the Farmington area, with information about what the organizations 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. Also available will be free blood pressure checks and cholesterol screenings. There is no charge for the event and it will include lunch made by the Mt. Blue High School culinary students.
The Senior Resource Fair is presented by SeniorsPlus in collaboration with its community partners on a three-year Maine Health Access Foundation “Thriving in Place” grant that focuses 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.
Partners in the fair are Western Maine Community Action, Healthy Community Coalition, Rangeley Health & Wellness, Rangeley Family Medicine, Franklin County Health Network, Senior Center, and Western Maine Transportation.
