Resources for Advanced Care Planning

In our Inpatient Senior Behavioral Health Unit, one of the most significant challenges we encounter is admitting patients who do not have a Dual Power of Attorney (POA) in place. Without a designated POA, it becomes difficult to make critical decisions regarding the patient’s care, especially when they are unable to advocate for themselves due to mental health issues. This can delay the admission process and hinder timely access to the care and support they urgently need. 

To help you and your loved one prepare and make informed decisions for the future, we have added resources below that provide guidance on establishing a POA and other important legal considerations. Ensuring these decisions are made in advance can greatly ease the process and ensure that your loved one receives the best possible care.
