This week Hospice of Michigan visited Flat Rock Towers and did a presentation on advance directives.  The presenter brought the 5 Wishes book with him and explained how to complete the forms inside. All of the residents who attended the presentation now want a copy of this book, which will be mailed to me. I am to distribute the books to the individuals who requested them when they arrive in the mail.

Then there was the discussion we had during yesterday’s phone conference on advance directives…

My thought, to rememdy any potential future misunderstandings for residents, is to attach a note stating that members should consult an attorney when signing any type of legal medical documents. Also on the note, I would include phone numbers for Elder Law of Michigan and Elder Law Center in Redford.

As a service coordinator, how would you handle this situation? Would you do things differently? Please comment and let me know your thoughts.
