Compassion in Dying — Advance Statement Guide

Compassion in Dying

Explains how to record personal wishes about care, values, religion, daily routine, and preferred place of care. Unlike an Advance Decision, an Advance Statement is not legally binding but must be taken into account by healthcare professionals.

Helps when

  • client has no advance care plan
  • preferred place of death
  • client is frightened of dying
