Five Wishes
Your healthcare providers at Tower Health want to provide you with the best care. And part of that care is understanding your wishes and care preferences. Advance care planning helps your loved ones and care professionals honor your wishes if you are unable to communicate yourself. Five Wishes, a nationally recognized advance directive, provides you the opportunity to document the following:
- The person YOU want to make care decisions for YOU when YOU can’t
- The kind of medical treatment YOU want or don’t want
- How comfortable YOU want to be
- How YOU want people to treat YOU
- What YOU want YOUR loved ones to know
