BRUNSWICK — As an extension of its annual Life Without Limits Expo held at the Cooks Corner Mall every September, Spectrum Generations plans to introduce a resource directory for the Mid-coast region in October.

“The focus of the directory will be on activities and resources for aging and disabled adults, their families and caregivers,” a Spectrum Generations release states.

Included in the directory will be a list of organizations that have products and/or services for older and disabled people.

“The list will be broad — from retirement communities, to golf courses, to personal care companies and more,” the release states. “There will also be a section on activities, support groups, theater, arts, trips and other social activities.”

The directory will be available as a quarterly insert in The Times Record, starting this October. It also will be distributed at a number of public locations throughout the region.

To be included in the directory, call David Brown, local center director for Spectrum Generations, at 729-0475.

“There are so many resources available to the older community but not one place where a person can find help,” Brown said of the impetus for the guide. “As one of Maine’s five Agencies on Aging, it is our responsibility to be that one place, and this will be a tool to help us achieve that.”

Spectrum Generations is the Central Maine Area Agency on Aging, and an Adults with Disabilities Resource Center. Its mission is to promote life-long learning, health, wellness, nutrition, community engagement and the social well-being of all older and disabled adults.
