TAKING CONTROL BEFORE DEMENTIA PROGRESSES

Dementia is the loss of higher intellectual function and memory, and it is extremely common as we age, affecting 37% of the US population by age 85.

For families dealing with this issue, it is important to understand the desires of the person who is developing memory issues, and to take steps before their thinking processes are impaired, to determine their life goals and desires for treatment.

Dr. Barak Gaster from the University of Washington has developed just such a form, to allow patients with developing dementia to indicate their wishes for treatment, prior to their developing cognitive limitations.

Take a look >>>HERE<<< at this form.  It is very useful.

Remember to check our our book TAKING CONTROL to get your wishes in place for your care.
