This recent New York Times (nytimes.com) article is about the idea that the typical advance care directive doesn’t say much about dementia. A physician recently developed a dementia-specific advance directive, which you can find here:
* Advance Directive for Dementia, dementia-directive.org
Two other resources are referred to in the article —
* The Conversation Project, theconversationproject.org
* Prepare for Your Care, prepareforyourcare.org
(I have previously posted about those resources.)
Here’s a link to the full article:
