Planning Ahead for Aging
Just as every great trip embarks with a full itinerary and your important travel documents secured in a handy place, our Passport to Wellness takes care of all that on your journey to aging well.
A Safety Net
Many older or disabled adults have a limited support network or do not want to burden friends or family with their care. In setting up a Passport to Wellness with Windward Life Care, clients can take control of their future and rest assured that they will have a trained Aging Life Care Professional® on their side in the event of a change in health status or other emergency.
