Nevada Senior Services is partnering with the National Council on Aging for “Boost Your Budget Week” to provide free benefits screenings for seniors.

A senior fair for those ages 60 and older and their caregivers will be held from 10 a.m.-noon Thursday at the Adult Day Care Center — Jones, at 901 N. Jones Blvd. in Las Vegas, and from 10 a.m.-noon Friday at Adult Day Care Center — Henderson, at 1201 Nevada State Drive.
