Our last article covered more of the technical aspects of various types of Power of Attorney and how to go about getting one in place. This article deals more with the considerations that go into getting your healthcare wishes articulated in a way that ensures they will be honored via a Living Will, a Durable Healthcare Power of Attorney, or both.
As our parents (and we) get older, there is a greater risk for a sudden change in physical or cognitive health such that someone else needs to step in and either assist with or entirely take over their health and/or financial decisions. The instrument for assigning someone these powers is a Power of Attorney.
A financial POA can be challenging to get into place because there are high levels of fear, uncertainty, and trust involved. Who, in their’ right mind’ would want to assign the rights over to someone else, even your most trusted child? The problem is that in your ‘wrong mind,’ it is too late to make this assignment.

The increasing severity of symptoms over time ultimately leaves the patient entirely dependent on others for care.
What sort of diagnostics have been, and are, used to diagnose dementia in general and specifically Alzheimer’s? How effective and useful are they in enabling early treatment of the disease?
The bottom line is that we most commonly arrive upon an Alzheimer’s diagnosis when the individual is showing very clear signs, and as a result, we have been missing the opportunity to treat and slow the progress for the last 10, 15, even 20 years before the more extreme symptoms manifest.
As we grow older, we experience many changes, both physically and emotionally. Coping with these changes can add stress to your life (not healthy). The vitality we once had as young men and women is now gone, and this serves as a signpost that we are getting closer to the end of our life. On the positive side, if we take good care of ourselves, we can greatly increase our chances for many more years where the quality of life is high.
