Advance Directives for Long-Term Care

Most seniors do not have advance directives which explain how they want medical decisions to be made when they are too ill to speak for themselves. Having directives in place shares your wishes with family, friends, and health care professionals and avoids confusion later.

These legal documents explain:

  • What kind of health care you want
  • Who you want to make decisions for you

Download our free printable factsheet about Advance Directives and why they are so important.

Contact Assisting Hands West Austin to learn more about health care directives at (512) 999-7379 or by using the chat box on this page.
