About
Are you connected to a person with a disability who would benefit from an Advanced Care Plan but would not have the ability to make one themselves, or would need assistance in making one? This presentation is designed for agencies/organizations who work with individuals with disabilities, offering them the opportunity to preview a workshop developed for caregivers of individuals with a disability. Important factors and considerations for end-of-life planning are outlined – some of the topics covered are:
what to include in an Advance Care Plan
considering who to appoint as guardian
what information to tell a guardian
honoring wishes for dying and after death has occurred
Time for discussion and a question-and-answer period are also provided. By previewing the workshop, agency staff gain knowledge about issues related to end-of-life pre-planning for individuals with a disability and can confidently recommend the workshop to their clients’ caregivers.
