DESCRIPTION

70% of Americans nearing the end of their lives are unable to make decisions about their own healthcare. In this one-hour presentation, Paul Knight will discuss the benefits of Advance Care Planning, which involves discussing and documenting end-of-life healthcare preferences ahead of time. Everyone who attends will receive a complimentary copy of Five Wishes, a valuable tool for facilitating this process.

ABOUT FIVE WISHES: Five Wishes is a widely respected document template created by the non-profit organization Aging with Dignity. It guides individuals in documenting their preferences for end-of-life care. Once completed, it is a legal advance directive, and also addresses comfort care, personal relationships, and messages to loved ones. Its comprehensive and compassionate approach has led some to call it "the advance directive with a heart and soul."

ABOUT THE PRESENTER: Paul Knight has many years of experience leading seminars and workshops on various topics and is certified by the non-profit organization Aging with Dignity to give talks on advance care planning and Five Wishes. He is also the facilitator of the Transition to Retirement group at CMAP.
