Personal Values & Quality of Life Statement

The most important caregiving decisions often come down to one simple question: What would this person have wanted?

The Personal Values & Quality of Life Statement gives you the opportunity to answer that question in your own words. It helps document the values, priorities, routines, relationships, and personal preferences that shape your quality of life so those involved in your care have guidance if they are ever called upon to make decisions for you.

Unlike legal documents that identify who can make decisions, this guided template helps explain what matters most to you and how you hope those decisions will be made. It is a valuable companion to powers of attorney, advance directives, and other planning documents, providing the personal context that legal forms often cannot.
