Advanced Care Planning

Advanced Care Planning is the process of thinking about and discussing your health care preferences in case you become unable to make decisions for yourself in the future. It involves communicating your values and goals regarding medical treatment, and often includes creating legal documents like advance directives or living wills. These documents specify what kind of care you want (or don’t want) if you are seriously ill or incapacitated. The aim is to ensure your wishes are respected and provide guidance to your loved ones and healthcare providers during difficult times.
