The fair will showcase area agencies and programs that provide support and services for older adults in the Farmington area. Guests will have the opportunity to learn about these 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 services.

Also available will be free blood pressure checks and cholesterol screenings.

The is presented in collaboration with community partners on a three-year Maine Health Access Foundation Thriving in Place grant that focuses on the Farmington and Rangeley communities.
