Inspired Comforts Toolkit
Advance directives let you document your healthcare wishes in case you can’t speak for yourself. Heavy topic; not urgent for most patients but worth thinking through. Once filled in, use to complete your state’s official forms with a notary.
My healthcare proxy
Person I trust to make decisions for me
Their relationship to me
Phone and email
Backup proxy
My values and preferences
What ‘quality of life’ means to me
When I’d want aggressive intervention
When I’d prefer comfort-focused care
Specific preferences (if applicable)
- I want CPR / I do not want CPR
- I want mechanical ventilation / I do not
- I want artificial nutrition / I do not
- I want hospice when treatment is no longer working
- I have organ donation preferences (yes / no / specific)
Make it official
- Your state has its own advance directive form (search ‘[state name] advance directive’)
- Most states require a notary
- Give copies to: your healthcare proxy, your physician, your local hospital
- Update every 5-10 years or after major life events
