- What will happen if you are in a car accident and you temporarily can’t make decisions for yourself?
- Do you have a health care power of attorney who can make decisions regarding your medical treatment?
- Have you told your family and your doctor specifically how you want to be treated if you are seriously injured or sick?
- Do you have a living will?
- Do you know exactly what your husband or wife would want if he or she was injured or sick? What about your children?
Planning for the future should be done now, before a crisis occurs. Every day, people of all ages and their families suffer needlessly because discussions haven’t taken place and documents haven’t been signed indicating specific health care wishes.
Let us help you take care of yourself and your family...
Hospice of Rutherford County, at no cost to you, will conduct “advance care” planning for your:
Church group
Civic organization
Workplace
Family.
In a one-hour workshop, your friends, church and family members, and the people you work with every day will learn:
How to decide what you want
How to talk about what you want and who to talk to about your wishes
How to decide who will be your health care power of attorney
How to fill out the necessary documents to make sure your wishes are fulfilled
How to gain overall peace of mind.
Regardless of how old or how young you are, it is your responsibility to take control and decide how you want to be cared for when the time comes. Don’t wait any longer.
Call Hospice of Rutherford County today at 245-0095 or 1-800-218-CARE (2273). You and your family will be glad you did.
