Frequently Asked Questions
Hospice care helps improve quality of life, not just for the patient but for the whole family. It is a whole-body approach that provides physical, emotional, and spiritual care. To accomplish this, the patient receives an interdisciplinary team (IDT) that includes a physician, nurse, nursing aide, social worker, chaplain, and volunteer(s). The level of care and support the team provides is a comfort to both patients and families.
Advanced Directives
A living will is a legal document that makes your wishes
regarding life-prolonging medical treatments known to your
family and your doctors. It can also be referred to as an
advance directive, health care directive, or a physician's
directive. It is important to have a living will as it informs
your health care providers and your family about your desires
for medical treatment in the event you are not able to speak for
yourself.
Generally, a living will describes certain life-prolonging
treatments. You indicate which treatments you do or do not want
applied to you in the event you either suffer from a terminal
illness or are in a permanent vegetative state. A living will
does not become effective unless you are incapacitated; until
then you'll be able to say what treatments you do or don't want.
For situations where you are incapacitated and therefore not able to speak for yourself, you should appoint someone with power of attorney. This is a legal document that gives someone else the authority to make healthcare decisions for you in the event you are incapacitated. The person you designate to make healthcare decisions on your behalf is supposed to consider what you would want, so be sure to talk with them about it. It may be a difficult conversation, but you're asking someone to take on a great burden for you - letting him or her know what you want lessens that burden.

Five Wishes
None of these documents will do you any good if no one knows
about them. You have to talk with your doctor and the person you
designate with power of attorney. Discuss with your doctor what
kinds of end-of-life medical treatments you want. He or she can
help you by answering any questions you have about certain
treatments. Once you've decided what it is you do or don't want,
make your wishes known to your doctor and your family.
