The 3 Steps of Life Care Planning
If there’s a time when you can’t make your own health care choices, it helps to have a plan. That way, your wishes are clear and your loved ones know what to do.
That’s where Life Care Planning comes in. You choose someone to communicate your health care wishes if there's a time in the future when you can't do so. Life Care Planning helps you choose someone to speak for you if you can’t. You don’t know when something might happen, but you can plan ahead so that your wishes are followed and your loved ones know what to do.
Choose your person to speak for you
You will ask someone you trust to make health care decisions on your behalf if you are unable to make them for yourself. That person will be your health care agent.
Select your treatment choices
Think through your treatment choices for health care if you are unable to make your own decisions due to an injury or illness.
Write your instructions in an Advance Health Care Directive
The Advance Health Care Directive (AHCD) is a legal document that provides your health care teams with guidance about what to do in the event you are not able to make health care decisions for yourself.
