Advanced Illness Planning
Consultants can assist you in:

• Assessing understanding of disease process, disease management and prognois.
• Helping patients and their caregivers learn how to "live with" versus "dying from" their illness.
• Increase awareness of elderly living options including criteria for admission to various types of facilities.
• Coordination with Physician's office to promote efficient and effective office visits.
• Assess the need for and assist with the development of Advanced Directives and understanding the various treatment options and decisions selected.
• Assist in accessing community services available for health care needs.

Advanced Illness Planning improves the quality of life in the final years by reducing fears and anxieties. Instead of fear, patients and families are empowered by directing their rights to self-determination, informed consent and access to their chosen treatment options.

Advanced Illness Planning is offered as a free community service through the Circle of Life Hospice Foundation.
