❓WHY does Advance Care Planning matter?

When people haven’t shared their wishes, families are often left guessing during difficult moments. Advance Care Planning helps remove that burden.

It ensures the person speaking for you understands:
💙what matters most to you
💙the kind of care you would want
💙who you trust to make decisions

It’s not about expecting the worst—it’s about preparing for anything life may bring.

Grey Bruce Hospice - Chapman House is proud to support our community by providing a FREE Advance Care Planning Kit, including a Power of Attorney for Personal Care document. Stop by and pick one up anytime or, download yours from our website here: https://bit.ly/4uM4TQ1

🤔WHAT is Advance Care Planning?

Advance Care Planning is simply thinking about and sharing what matters most to you if you were ever unable to make your own health care decisions.

It includes:
🪴Choosing someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf
🪴Talking about what matters most in your care
🪴Writing down your wishes

It’s not about being sick. It’s about being prepared for life’s unexpected moments.

Chapman House offers a FREE Advance Care Planning Kit, including a Power of Attorney for Personal Care form, to help you start the conversation. Alternatively, you can download your copy of the ACP Kit from our website here: https://bit.ly/4uM4TQ1

Pick one up anytime. Planning today can make decisions easier tomorrow.💙
