CONWAY — As part of an effort to highlight the need for elderly services, U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) paid a visit Tuesday morning to the new Mount Washington Valley Adult Day Center in Center Conway.
The center, which opened last September, provides activities and services for those with memory loss and other cognitive impairments.
