Register to receive a Zoom link.

This event is free but you can make an optional gift to support the Center for Gerontology Annual Fund.

Planning ahead as you or a family member ages is crucial. Helping a loved one manage their affairs when they no longer can is among life's biggest challenges. 

Learn what to look for and how to manage care giving and personal affairs if a family member is experiencing cognitive decline.

Join us for a webinar with expert Pamela Teaster. Teaster is the director of the Center for Gerontology at Virginia Tech and she leads the center’s research efforts and other activities related to aging. She is an expert on issues related to guardianship, decision-making, and related aging issues.
