Dark Secrets: The Terrible Truth About Elder Abuse in the Family
2024-06-20 09:00 - 13:00 | Gracie Theatre, Husson University, Beardsley Meeting House, 180 College Cir, Bangor, Maine, 04401
Brooke Astor, wealthy New York philanthropist, writer, and socialite, was recognized for her generosity towards those less fortunate. While she spent most of the year working in New York, each summer she refueled at her beloved home in Northeast Harbor, Maine.
Brooke Astor is also known for something else, something far more sinister. In her later years, Mrs. Astor was abused—isolated, deprived, manipulated, and exploited—by her only child who gained control of millions of dollars that she had bequeathed to charities. It was her grandson, Philip Marshall, who, with the help of many concerned persons and law enforcement, saved his grandmother.
Join AARP Maine & Legal Services for Maine Elders to hear Philip Marshall tell his story and to participate in an on-site Maine Calling Maine Public radio program immediately following. A light lunch will be available at 12:15.
Thursday, June 20th | 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM Husson University’s Gracie Theatre
You can also attend Mr. Marshall’s keynote address virtually on Zoom
This event is free, but registration is required.

Webinar: Do Not Throw That Out! A Guide to Medical Equipment Reuse in Maine
2024-06-18 14:00 - 15:00 | Zoom
Do you have a walker or a tub seat you are no longer using? Do you need a home medical device that you cannot find or afford? Durable medical equipment (DME) reuse provides medical equipment second-hand to create less waste and make needed devices available to more people. In this webinar, we will learn what durable medical equipment is; how people acquire new and used equipment; and what resources in Maine offer equipment reuse programs.
