AGE of Central Texas will host the free caregiver support seminars exploring “Advanced Care Planning: The GIFT Project” on June 13th and 20th. Part of the on-going workshop series to help family members effectively care for an older adult, the 2-part free seminars will be held online on two consecutive Saturdays, June 13th and 20th, beginning at 10:00 a.m.

The GIFT Project is an initiative of Hospice Austin to encourage advance care planning prior to a health care crisis. This interactive seminar empowers participants to identify what matters most to them and take steps to ensure their wishes are honored. The discussion will include how to:

• Identify your wishes
• Decide who you would like to speak for you
• Discuss your wishes with loved ones
• Complete your advance directives

Part 1: Saturday, June 13, 2020, 10:00-11:00 a.m.

Part 1 will focus on how to have the conversation, what are advance directives, and why it is more important than ever to have your documents up to date and filled out. Time will be allotted for Q&A.

Part 2: Saturday, June 20, 2020, 10:00-11:00 a.m.

Part 2 will focus on the documents. Each document will be explained with time for Q&A.
