For families & caregivers

If you’re helping a parent, grandparent, or neighbor navigate technology, scams, or healthcare systems, GOLD is built for both of you.

Ask us about family sessions, in-home one-on-one support, or how to set up a loved one’s patient portal in a way they can actually use independently.

Talk to us about your situation

Stay in the loop

Two simple ways to keep up: a low-volume email list, and a workshop calendar that updates itself.

Email alerts

Workshop announcements, fresh scam alerts, and the occasional member story. We send only when we have something useful to say.

Bookmark the basics

Workshops, member stories, and the contact page, the three pages you’ll come back to most. Save them now and you won’t have to dig.

Don’t see what you need?

Ask us. That’s the whole point.

GOLD started because the resources older adults actually needed didn’t exist. If you have a question we haven’t answered, tell us, that’s often how the next class gets built.
