Back to Basics: What You Need to Know About Advance Care Planning


Listen Later

Social Worker Rosie Gaston talks about getting back to the basics of what matters most to start an advance care plan.  Reflecting on values and beliefs is a great starting place.  The next step is having conversations with people who matter most to us (along with healthcare providers) to communicate the kind of care we want when our bodies begin to shut down, and what embodies quality of life.  When should we make an advance care plan?  Rosie recommends anyone over 18 make an ACP and revisit it whenever there’s a life change.  End of life wishes change and ACP should change to stay in alignment with who we are.  Getting a life-altering or serious diagnosis, changing marital status, or having a change in healthcare provider are all milestones where review of an advance care plan should happen.  Have the conversations early, have them often.
