Advanced Health Care Directive/Power of Attorney Clinic - September 26, 2023
For many seniors, a diagnosis for Alzheimer’s or other diseases causing dementia can make it difficult or impossible for them to make decisions on their own. When this happens, family or other trusted loved ones often must step in to provide care and support. The Advanced Health Care Directive/Power of Attorney clinic can help seniors prepare in case they become unable to make decisions about their own health care and finances. These documents will allow you to make your health care wishes known, and to name a trusted individual as the person to carry out those wishes.
