Overview:
Worldwide the number of people who will experience dementia is projected to increase from 47 million in 2015 to 132 million by 2050 (Gaster, et al. 2017). End-of- life planning is important for everyone, but standard advance directives are often not helpful for people who develop dementia. Standard advance directives generally address rare scenarios such as if someone were to fall into a permanent coma, but fail to provide guidance for the most common reason people lose decision-making capacity: dementia. This session will explore the many options available for helping guide advance care planning for dementia, with special attention to the use of dementia-specific advance directives.
By Attending Our Workshop, You Will Be Able To:
- Identify the different components of the dementia directive and how it differs from forms which designate a health agent or power of attorney
- Describe two best practices and resources to improve advance care planning with seniors and their care partners
- Identify the goal directed options for a dementia specific advanced directive
