ADVANCE HEALTHCARE PLANNING
• Are there other resources to learn about advance care directives?
Five Wishes is an advance care directive that is legal in most( but not all) 50 U. S. states. They include Healthcare Power of Attorney and Living Will, as well as questions around specific wishes at end of life, such as the surrounding environment of your death, preferences for memorial services and how you wish to be remembered. Visit www. fivewishes. org to learn more.
The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization offers resources on advance directives, palliative care and more to further clarify these important topics and guide conversations for you and your family. Visit www. caringinfo. org for more information.
Additionally, Values History Forms are tools that can help you to make healthcare decisions in line with your values. Values History Forms may cover your goals for the future, understanding of your health, fears, preferences for end of life, definition of pain and suffering, beliefs around dignity and quality of life, and important messages you wish to share. You can find different versions of Values History Forms online.
