Care & Support

Four small steps

Consider your preferences
Where would you like to receive care? What would help you feel comfortable?
- 2
Learn the basics
Understand common terms like healthcare proxy and advance directive. A professional can help with the details.

Choose your helpers
Think about who you'd want involved, and ask them kindly if they're willing.
- 4
Care for the carers
Share resources and respite options with the people who look after you.
