The Importance Of The Advance Care Plan
The advance care plan is a document that goes into effect only if the client is incapacitated and unable to speak for herself. This could be the result of disease or severe injury—no matter how old is she. It helps others know what type of medical care she wants.
In that case it is really important to make sure that everybody who is involved in her care knows everything about her preferences and wishes-thus the Advance Care Plan’s details should be shared. That could explain her feelings, beliefs and values that govern how she make decisions. They may cover medical and non-medical matters. They are not legally binding but should be used when determining a person’s best interests in the event they lose capacity to make those decisions.
