Discussing end-of-life care may be uncomfortable, but making choices about how you want to be treated – and communicating your wishes to those closest to you – is empowering for everyone involved. Loved ones do not want to make decisions for you, and states have regulations that can impact your choices. Putting plans in place now will give everyone the peace of mind of knowing exactly what steps to take when the time comes.

Topics to address may include:

• What a good day looks like.
• Who you look to for support.
• What matters most to you at the end of life (comfort, pain care, having loved-ones nearby, etc.)
• How you want to be cared for, where, and by whom.
