Advance care planning is the process of discussing and determining treatment decisions such as a Living Will, and appointing a health care proxy in the event that your mother is not able to make medical decisions for herself. Advance Care planning can make a critical difference in your life, and the lives of your parents as they age, either in emergency situations or when facing end-of-life care situations.
