SCRANTON, PA — The Wright Center for Community Health is hosting a Caregivers Resource Fair for family members and caregivers of people living with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. 

The free-of-charge public event will be held at the Wright Center for Community Health Scranton, 501 S. Washington Ave., from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 29. Agencies from across the region, including Lackawanna County’s Area Agency on Aging, Scranton Counseling Center, Telespond Senior Services, LIFE Geisinger, Lackawanna Pro Bono Inc., Interim Health Care, United Neighborhood Centers, Jewish Community Center of Scranton, Indraloka Animal Sanctuary and more will provide information about the resources they offer.

A legal expert and a local caregiver will give presentations. No registration is required to participate in the Caregivers Resource Fair.

“We’ve heard from so many people who don’t know what is available,” said Nicole Flynn, director of the geriatrics service line at the Wright Center. “Since we’re part of this network, we thought we could help by hosting an event where caregivers can come to one place to get information, hear from experts, and better help their loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.”
