The fair will showcase area agencies and programs that provide support and services for older adults in the Farmington area.

The 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 grants is to assist people with chronic health conditions to stay healthy in their homes rather than needing hospital or nursing home care.
Support is provided by SeniorsPlus’ partners of the Seniors Resource Fair: Western Maine Community Action, Healthy Community Coalition, Rangeley Health & Wellness, Rangeley Family Medicine, Franklin County Health Network, Senior Center, and Western Maine Transportation.
