Why Have an Advance Directive? Five Wishes and Other Tools for Future Planning

Description

National Healthcare Decisions Day is celebrated every year in April. What better time to talk about advance care planning? If you are like most Americans, you may not have a healthcare advance directive.

Join Windward Life Care Vice President, Susan Valoff, LCSW, and Director of Clinical Services, Kim Leonard, LCSW, as they explain why advance directives are critical for every adult 18 and older. Webinar participants will learn about the Five Wishes form and its uses as a conversation tool and legal healthcare advance directive.

Estate planning attorney Yvonne Amrine of Amrine Law will join the Windward team for a Q&A session, answering participants' questions about how to document your wishes so they are carried out and address other key documents needed to make sure you and your family are protected.

This webinar qualifies as one hour of continuing education for Certified Aging Life Care Managers with the CMC certification.
