If you wish to have a personal Health Care Directive in place, you need to make the following decisions:
1. Who you wish to appoint as a Proxy. Most people choose a spouse, partner, sibling, child, friend, member of the clergy, or other adviser. Some people choose two proxies, but if you do, you need to decide whether these two proxies must always agree and act together or whether one or the other can make decisions.
2. When the Proxy is to start making decisions. Who will decide when you become incapacitated. Many people leave that decision in the hands of their family doctor. Some leave it to their Proxy.
3. Your wishes concerning treatment, medications, diet, exercise, dental care, mental health and other health care needs.
4. Your living arrangements, e.g. 24-hour care in your own home or a facility or whether you want to be separated from your spouse or partner.
