Empower Your Healthcare Journey with Advance Directives
Importance of Advance Directives Throughout Life
Young Adults (Ages 18-40):
Advance Directives are crucial for everyone, regardless of age. For young adults, unexpected medical events can occur at any time. Having an Advance Directive ensures that your healthcare preferences are respected, relieving your family from making difficult decisions during crises.
Middle Age (Ages 40-65):
As you navigate through middle age, chronic conditions may become a part of your life. Updating your Advance Directive during this period ensures your healthcare preferences are clear and followed, enhancing your overall care and reducing unnecessary interventions.
Senior Years (65 and Older):
In your senior years, medical care often becomes more complex. A well-documented Advance Directive provides peace of mind, ensuring that your end-of-life care aligns with your wishes and reduces the emotional and financial burden on your loved ones.
What is an Advance Directive?
An Advance Directive (AD) is a vital legal document that allows you to outline your medical care preferences in case you become unable to make decisions for yourself. It includes two main parts:
- Living Will: Details your wishes regarding medical treatments you want or do not want, such as life support or resuscitation.
- Medical Power of Attorney: Appoints a trusted person to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated.
In most states, Advance Directives need to be notarized to be legally binding. Empower Hope offers a unique online 24/7 notarization service, making it easy to complete and update your Advance Directive anytime, anywhere.
Understanding POLST and DNR Forms
POLST (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment):
A POLST form is a medical order that reflects your preferences for life-sustaining treatments, such as resuscitation or mechanical ventilation. Unlike an Advance Directive, a POLST is designed for those with serious illnesses or advanced frailty and is intended for immediate medical care. POLST forms vary by state, and Empower Hope ensures your POLST is compliant with state-specific regulations.
DNR (Do Not Resuscitate):
A DNR order instructs healthcare providers not to perform CPR if your heart stops or you stop breathing. This form is essential for patients who prefer not to undergo aggressive resuscitation efforts due to terminal conditions or a desire for a natural death. Empower Hope helps you understand when and why you might need a POLST or DNR, ensuring your medical care aligns with your wishes.
