Join us to learn about what assisted living actually is (and isn't)! We'll discuss how it gets paid for and a roadmap for your loved ones to set expectations for the process. Note: All information shared covers what independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home facilities look like in Maine and may not apply to sites in other states. Q & A follows the presentation.

Kaitlyn Morse, the founder of Maine Aging Partners, has spent time working in home healthcare and senior living. After working with over 500 families, she realized how difficult it is to find a clear and unbiased source of information in this field and wants to share her knowledge with you.

When selecting plants, it's helpful to have a way to narrow down your choices. To do this, I create what I call a "plant palette" which is a matrix that can help you organize plants that would be good to use in your garden. I will walk you through the process step-by-step by using examples, then you can create a plant palette of your own by applying your knowledge on a real-life exercise. All you need for this workshop is a love of plants and gardening.

 Training Keeping Naloxone (Narcan nasal spray) on hand can help save a life. Having a kit nearby could help a friend, family member, or someone in the community in the event of an emergency. This Narcan administration training will guide you through how to use Narcan, as well as helpful information on opioids and how Narcan interacts with these substances. This training is free, on behalf of Healthy Lincoln County, a tier-two distributor of Narcan in the State of Maine. Upon completion of this training, you will receive one kit, with two doses of Narcan, to add to your first aid kit or AED box. Additionally, you will receive supplemental resources to have on hand should you want to review what was discussed in the live training event.
