Understanding Five Wishes® Advance Care Planning


Adult and Senior / Special Interest -
Senior Program 2024-2025

In this class we will discuss what it means to have Advanced Care planning before any emergency, illness, or terminal diagnosis. We will go over the benefits of advanced planning and I will walk each attendee through the Five Wishes® Advanced Care Planning form. Even if they choose not to use this ultimately, it will give attendees a framework for thinking about all the "Loose Ends" that must be tied up before it actually becomes necessary to think about end of life, about how we would like to die, about our wishes for receiving or NOT receiving medical care, how we wish to be treated, what we define as "dignity" that should be respected as we near the end of life.
