Five Wishes: Letting Others Know Exactly How You Want to Be Treated
Speaker: Jennifer Hamilton
The final presentation is led by Jennifer Hamilton. Jennifer will explain The Five Wishes booklet, which addresses your personal, emotional, medical and spiritual needs and how you wish to be treated if you get seriously ill.
You use it to let your loved ones know exactly how you want to be treated in your final days. It covers details such as whether you want music, and what kind; what kind of medical treatment you want; how much company you want; and whether you want your loved ones to hold your hand. It also helps you communicate whatever else you want those who remain behind to know.
Created by the American Bar Association’s Commission on the Legal Problems of the Elderly, it is an easy-to-use document that helps to organize your end-of-life care information and make it accessible to your loved ones.
A Five Wishes 10-page booklet that you can take home with you will be available at the meeting.
