#advanceDirective
**Don’t keep it to yourself!** Create an #advancedirective about your wishes at #endoflife, but *also* communicate those wishes to lots of folks - health care team, family, friends. Early communication is the key to increasing your chances for a good #death. #palliativecare #hospice #choiceindying

Having an #advancedirective is a very good thing, but having a #healthcare representative or #powerofattorney is still so important. Having someone to advocate for what *you* want if you are unable to speak for yourself is helpful more often than you’d think. #deatheducation #death #endoflife

In this story, the patient could still speak for herself, so her #AdvanceDirective would not have come into play as a legal document - that is, she could still discuss her care, so her Health Care Representative did not have to speak on her behalf. It seemed to be used as a reference for discussion.

It always seems too soon, until it’s too late.
Everyone should create an #AdvanceDirective and review it regularly to ensure your #rights and wishes are honored now and in the future.

An #AdvanceDirective can:
- appoint an agent to make #HealthCare decisions for you if you can't
- provide instructions for future care, and
- communicate your goals & values.

Here's a resource from on what it takes to make one in each state:

When family asks what I want for my birthday, my answer for the past few years has been either creation of or update of your advance directive. There is no more compassionate or loving gift. #advancedirective #caregivers
Today is National Healthcare Decisions Day. Fill out an advance directive, discuss your wishes with loved ones, and get your affairs in order; this is an act of love.

If your loved ones are like most Americans, they probably don’t have an #AdvanceDirective. That's a problem. If they lose their ability to make decisions, they may not get the #HealthCare they would want. And family may be burdened with making (unnecessarily) hard decisions. 2/5

Attorney Thomas Begley explains why having only a will can leave families exposed. Even the best-drafted will or trust can fall apart if medical bills or elder scams drain your assets.
