The "Unbefriended" Gap: Who Decides When There’s No One to Call?

​In the healthcare world, there is a quiet crisis. It’s called being "unbefriended"—having no local family, no spouse, and no trusted friend to step in when a medical crisis hits.

​At Decision Advocates, we were founded specifically to fill this void. We don't just step in during a crisis; we do the work now so you’re never a stranger to your own medical team.

​What sets our advocacy apart:
​The "Story" Protocol: We don't just read your charts. We meet with you to learn your fears, your values, and your history. If we ever have to speak for you, we aren't guessing—we’re honoring your narrative.

​Family Conflict Mitigation: Sometimes you have family, but you don't want them carrying the burden (or the bias) of heavy medical choices. We act as the objective third party to preserve your relationships while protecting your wishes.

​The Least Restrictive Path: Our philosophy is rooted in dignity. We believe guardianship should never be a "takeover," but a partnership that prioritizes your independence for as long as possible.

​You've spent decades building a life that reflects who you are. Your healthcare decisions should do the same.

Hoo! runs Decision Advocates?

🚨 The Tipping Point: When Is It Time to Call Decision Advocates?

​It’s often difficult to watch a loved one struggle with addiction, mental health issues, or chronic non-compliance with medical care. You might be asking: When do I move from supporting them to calling for professional help?

​At Decision Advocates, we specialize in helping families navigate these complex crossroads with compassion and clarity through professional interventions.

​Three Signs It's Time for a Free Consultation:

​The Decline Is Accelerating: You notice a sudden, consistent, or rapidly worsening change in behavior (i.e., escalating substance use, severe isolation, critical failure to manage health issues).

​Harm is Imminent (or Happening): Your loved one's behavior is causing immediate danger to themselves or others, or they are risking job loss, legal trouble, or eviction.

​Your Family is Exhausted: You and other family members have tried every approach - talking, begging, arguing, and are burned out, constantly worried, and have run out of options. You cannot fix this alone.

​Decision Advocates provides the experienced, neutral interventionist necessary to break the cycle and motivate your loved one toward treatment.

​If you’ve hit a wall, it’s not too late. The first step toward change is a conversation.

​➡️ Schedule your free, confidential consultation today: DecisionAdvocates.com/contact-us
