Advance care planning helps people make decisions about the health care they would want to receive if they become unable to speak for themselves and includes sharing your personal values with your loved ones; getting information on the types of life-sustaining treatments that are available; deciding what type of treatment you would want should you be unable to speak for yourself; completing advance care directives to put into writing what types of treatment you would or would not want, often referred to as a living will, and who you choose to speak for you; and designating a health care power of attorney.
Advance care planning can help alleviate unnecessary suffering, improve quality of life and provide better understanding of the decision-making challenges facing the individual and their caregivers. An advance care plan can be used at any stage of life. Work with a professional who has expertise and extensive training. They have provided countless hours of compassionate care to many people at the end of their life. They will listen to you. They will show respect and dignity to your culture and its practices. They will guide you through the completion of all necessary documents to ensure your wishes are respected and followed. They will work with and counsel your family to the degree you choose.
