ADVANCE CARE PLANNING




ADVANCE CARE PLANNING


MAKING SURE YOUR VOICE IS HEARD WHEN YOU CANNOT SPEAK FOR YOURSELF


ARE YOU PREPARED?

All Albertans should prepare for a possible scenario where they may be unable to
make their own medical decisions, especially if they are older or have chronic
or serious illness.

If you became seriously ill, would your family, caregivers and healthcare
providers know how you would want to be cared for? Who would speak for you if
you were too sick to speak for yourself?

Learn more about advance care planning.


ADVANCE CARE PLANNING

A way to help you think about, talk about and document wishes for health care in
the event that you become incapable of consenting to or refusing treatment or
other care.

You may never need your advance care plan - but if you do, you’ll be glad that
it’s there and that you have had these conversations, to make sure that your
voice is heard when you cannot speak for yourself.


GOALS OF CARE DESIGNATION

A medical order used to describe and communicate the general aim or focus of
care including the preferred location of that care.

Although advance care planning conversations don't always result in determining
goal of care designation, they make sure your voice is heard when you cannot
speak for yourself.

but does not use resuscitative or life support measures.


COMFORT CARE

treatment is no longer an option.


RESUSCITATIVE CARE

Focuses on prolonging or preserving life using medical or surgical
interventions, including, if needed, resuscitation and intensive care.

Our work takes place on historical and contemporary Indigenous lands, including
the territories of Treaty 6, Treaty 7 & Treaty 8 and the homeland of the Métis
Nation of Alberta and 8 Métis Settlements. We also acknowledge the many
Indigenous communities that have been forged in urban centres across Alberta.
