Advance Care Planning Day
April 10, 2024 | Canada
Advance Care Planning is a process where you reflect on your values and wishes about your health and future care, and share this with your loved ones and health care providers. Planning for your future healthcare needs is important, especially because there may come a time when you are no longer able to make decisions for yourself.
Questions you may ask yourself include:
- What is most important to me about my future health and care?
- Where do I want to be as I age and when I die?
- Who would I trust to make healthcare decisions for me if I wasn’t able to make decisions for myself?
- What are some things about my health or care that I would feel is unacceptable for my dignity?
Thinking about your answers to these questions, and communicating them to your loved ones and care providers, can help ensure that your future health and care decisions are made in line with your wishes. Now is the time to start planning for your future, and there are useful guides to help you along the way.
