How do I apply for Medicare or Medicaid? How do I find and hire caregivers on the island? These and many other questions about aging on Orcas will be answered at the 2015 Senior Faire on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at the Orcas Island Senior Center.

The faire consists of informative panels dealing with the sometimes unique challenges of aging on Orcas, as well as information tables describing local senior services. Sessions will include “Medicaid, Medicare and You,” “How to Fall, or Not!” “Lions Mobility Assistance Equipment Loaner Program,” “How to Hire a Caregiver,” “Emergency Flight Insurance Programs” and more.

This free, day-long event begins at 8:30 a.m. for coffee and registration, and the first panel begins at 9 a.m. A one-hour lunch break begins at 11:45 a.m., with lunch for seniors provided by donation and the conference will end at 4 p.m.
