FYI

We plan for college, weddings and retirement.

And we should plan for the end of life.

A new document, called Five Wishes, is available in 20 languages and is legal in 40 states. The “living will” helps folks make important end-of-life-care decisions about their medical, personal, emotional and spiritual needs.

Five Wishes helps find answers the following questions:

Who will make decisions for you when you can’t make them yourself?

What kind of medical treatment do you/don’t you want?

How comfortable would you like to be?

How do you want people to treat you?

What do you want your loved ones to know?

United Health Foundation, Aging with Dignity and the Administration on Aging are distributing 500,000 copies of the paperwork this year.

For more information, call 888-5-WISHES or visit www.agingwithdignity.org.
