These new online tools from Compassion & Choices show you how to implement a “Dementia Healthcare Directive,” since the usual Healthcare Directive does not apply to mental deterioration.
At Compassion & Choices, we’ve designed two interactive, web-based tools that will help people take control of their care following diagnosis: the Dementia Decoder and the Dementia Values & Priorities Tool. Because we’re committed to helping people document their values and priorities while they are mentally capable so that their loved ones can navigate treatment and avoid prolonged suffering.
