LEWISTON — SeniorsPlus will sponsor a caregiver event on Friday, Nov. 6, at the Ramada Inn.
Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the event will run from 9 a.m. to noon. Family caregivers of an older adult or an adult with a disability are welcome.

Guest speakers will include Mary Anne Moisan, executive director of Young Dementia. Moisan founded Young Dementia in 2005 in memory of her husband, Richard “Rick” Moisan, who had CADASIL, a rare genetic vascular disorder that causes dementia. She will speak on her personal struggle of caring for her young family while also caring for her husband with dementia. Her vision for creating the organization grew out of personal experiences living through the dementia-related illness and death of her husband.

Lillian Scenna from the American Parkinson Disease Association Information and Referral Center will lead a workshop for spouses and others who serve as primary caregivers for loved ones affected by Parkinson’s.

A continental breakfast will be served as well as educational information presented
by Legal Services for the Elderly, Aident and SeniorsPlus.
