An advance directive is a written document that explains your medical preferences if you cannot speak for yourself. It helps ensure your values guide decisions about treatments such as resuscitation, life-sustaining care, and comfort measures. Anyone over the age of 18 can consider creating one, especially if you have health concerns, family responsibilities, or complex care decisions ahead. In Glenmore and across Wisconsin, a well-prepared directive can provide clarity and reduce uncertainty during medical emergencies.
A living will is a type of advance directive that describes your wishes for end-of-life care in specific situations. An advance directive is a broader term that may include a living will and a durable power of attorney for health care. Together, these documents ensure your treatment preferences and a trusted agent are in place to carry out your wishes.
The durable power of attorney for health care is typically given to someone you trust to make medical decisions when you cannot. Most often this is a family member or close friend, though you may choose a trusted advisor or professional to serve in this role. The important factor is that the person understands your values and is willing to advocate for your preferences.
