The Walworth County Aging Network will host its annual Senior Resource Fair on Thursday, October 2, 2025. The event will take place from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Walworth County Health & Human Services building, located at 1910 County Rd NN in Elkhorn.

Organizers say the open house is aimed at older adults as well as their families and friends who want to learn more about local resources, services, and activities available in the community. Attendees can visit information booths set up by healthcare providers, home care agencies, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, and other community organizations.

Free health screenings will be offered by Advocate Aurora. There will also be memory, hearing, and fall risk screenings for those interested. Light refreshments and door prizes are planned for visitors.

“Drop in anytime during the event to gather information, ask questions, and connect with local organizations dedicated to supporting older adults,” organizers said.

The event is open to older adults seeking support or resources, family members or caregivers of seniors, as well as anyone interested in learning more about services for older adults.
