Advance Care Planning

Recorded On: 08/04/2023

Advance care planning involves discussing and preparing for future decisions about medical care if a resident becomes seriously ill or unable to communicate their wishes. Having meaningful conversations with your residents is the most important part of advance care planning. Research shows that residents are more likely to get the care they want if they have conversations about their future medical treatment and put a plan in place. This program was developed to assist you in guiding your residents and supporting their decisions regarding future care.
