A discussion about the importance of having an Advanced Directive Care Plan. You make the decisions! It’s gives us an opportunity, for example, to nominate who will speak on our behalf, how we want to be treated when we don’t have capacity to make decisions, what medical treatment if any we want, do we want extra medical interventions or comfort only treatment or somewhere in between. The plan also covers basic questions for example, where is your Will, bank accounts, pets, solicitors, etc, how do you want to be remembered, burial or body to science etc. Encouraging the individual to complete the appropriate forms before they are needed and then live life to its fullest!
