At VillagesOKC, we empower adults to age with vitality and purpose. Our core values are to learn, plan and serve. While all of these are important to successful aging, we think a key component is planning. If you plan for potential transitions - a hospital stay, a move, or aging in place, you can be well prepared and you will have less anxiety about those transitions. Don’t assume your family knows what you want - write it down!

A great way to begin this preparation is to spend time organizing and documenting your important information and wishes. VillagesOKC has developed The GIFT - an interactive workshop guiding participants through 12 key areas most affected by life transitions. We try to keep groups small - usually 12 people or less. Local guest professionals add to the experience by providing valuable resources and experience about their topic.  Each participant receives a binder and USB drive.

Here is an example of what is covered in each session:
Session 1: Personal, Legal and Medical   (90 minutes)

Session 2: Financial, Insurance, Real Estate (90 minutes)

Session 3: Living Options: Staying at home, retirement communities and nursing care, Daily Living, Crisis Plan  (90 minutes)

Session 4: Home Health, Hospice and Memorials, Celebrations & End of Life  (90 minutes)

Please come by the VillagesOKC office before Session 1 to collect your book & USB drive. We are open Monday - Thursday 9:00 - 3:00 pm. The physical address is 3908 N Peniel Suite 330. Call us for any questions (405) 990-6637.
