"Five Wishes" allows the use of an easy-to-use legal document that helps you and those close to you plan the kind of care you want to receive if you ever become seriously ill.
Health experts say that without a legal document like Five Wishes, a person who is too sick to speak may have no control over important medical decisions about life support or pain treatment. Family members, friends and doctors may be in the difficult position of guessing - or even disagreeing about - what treatment that person would want. People who have used Five Wishes say the document gives them the peace of mind that comes from avoiding this kind of uncertainty and ensuring that the wishes of their family members are known and respected.
Five Wishes is changing the way American talks about and plans for care at the end of life. Nearly one million copies of the document are circulating throughout the nation and more than 1,400 organizations are distributing this revolutionary document, including churches, synagogues, hospices, hospitals, doctor and law offices and social service agencies.
Five Wishes speaks to people in their own language, helping families talk with their physician about a subject that is often avoided as being too hard to face.
