London Family AgeSmart Lectures

Created in 2013 as an ongoing program to benefit the entire metro Atlanta community, The London Family AgeSmart Lectures provide tactical and timely information on the wide range of issues pertaining to aging. In just five years, more than 1,500 attendees have participated in our semi-annual programs held each fall and spring. All lectures are free to the public and intended to educate those in the “sandwich generation,” boomers, generation Xers and even millennials who find themselves on the aging journey with loved ones.

Postponed: Date to be Announced

The Caregivers Journey

Presented by: Regina Koepp, Board Certified Clinical Psychologist

No one “signs up” to be the primary caregiver of a loved one—or for the stress and guilt when trying to prioritize your own needs. If your role has shifted and you are searching for tools to manage better, join us to learn about the stages of caregiving and strategies for avoiding or getting out of a downward spiral.

**Out of concern for protecting our residents and staff and in consultation with Jewish HomeLife’s Medical Director and Infection Control team, we have made the decision to postpone the London Family AgeSmart Lecture: The Caregivers Journey (3/29). We appreciate you understanding our need to ensure our residents are protected from any inadvertent exposure to the COVID-19. We will let you know when a new date is set for this very important topic.**
