If you were unable to communicate your wishes about your health care, would your loved ones know exactly what you want – or don’t want – when it comes to treatments and measures to preserve your life? Who would you want to speak for you about your preferences if you were unable?
“Advance Directives” is a term used for the written instructions a person creates to convey their wishes regarding medical treatment if they’re unable to express decisions themselves.
Plan your end-of-life care well in advance and share your plan with your loved ones, your physician and your attorney before a health care crisis happens.
Contact Bluegrass Care Navigators if you would like assistance with creating Advance Directives.
