Press Release, Orleans County Office for the Aging
ALBION – The Orleans County Office for the Aging will welcome the Center for Elder Law & Justice to Hoag Library on Wednesday, Feb. 19 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
This is a free event open to everyone, but targeted to those 60 years of age and older. The library is located at 134 S. Main St. in Albion.
The Center for Elder Law & Justice provides free legal services to older adults across a host of areas including health care advocacy, elder abuse, housing, consumer protection and more. This event will go into more depth of these services and help those looking for legal advice.
“Our older residents often have unique legal problems but do not seek assistance because they do not know where to turn or fear a lawyer will be too costly and beyond their means,” said Melissa Blanar, director of Orleans County OFA. “Thankfully, the Center for Elder Law & Justice is here to help our older citizens, and OFA is hosting this event to help spread the word on how they can help.”
Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP by Feb. 14 to the Office for the Aging at (585) 589-3191.
