Planning for emergency and advanced care
Ensuring that you have peace of mind knowing that your loved one is well taken care of in any unexpected situation.
Emergency Care Plan
An emergency care plan makes it easy for someone to take over from you in a hurry. It has all the information about the person you care for in one place, so you can get it quickly and easily.
The emergency care plan has:
emergency contacts
the care needs of the person you care for
medical information and contacts
a medicine list
carer emergency cards
Advance Care Planning
Advance care planning is a discussion exploring a person’s values and preferences for their future health care, including end-of-life care. This can be a discussion among family and friends at any stage of life. If a person is older, has had a chronic illness for a long time, or has dementia or other cognitive impairment, it will often involve doctors or other health professionals.
Advance care planning may lead to the completion of an Advance Care Directive.
