PLANNING FOR IMPORTANT HEALTHCARE DECISIONS
The term “advance directive” refers to any spoken or written instructions you give about the health care you want if a time comes when you are too ill to decide. As a trained Advance Directive Facilitator, Sheila Bracani can help you explore the options for end-of-life services and care and to assist in the preparation of your own advance directive.
Some states have advance directive forms online (Maine’s version is athttp://www.maine.gov/dhhs/oads/aging/resource/adf.pdf)
This is a gift for yourself and your family. It is not just for those near end–of-life since serious illness or injury can happen at any time. The document will help you to implement plans to ensure that your wishes are honored and that family members, friends and health care providers are aware of your preferences.
Sheila offers assistance free of charge and may be reached by phone or email: sbracani@earthlink.net 207-443-1015
