End-of-Life Planning Guide

Put Your Wishes in Writing, Not on Your Family.

By Dr. Roberts, D.O., Hospice Physician. Written from a decade inside hospice and geriatrics, from the side of the desk that sat with families through it.

This guide is for you if:

• A doctor just used the word hospice for the first time and you froze.
• A parent or spouse is being discharged and you're being asked to choose between care options fast.

• You're worried about Medicare, Medicaid, long term care costs, or losing the house.
• Your family disagrees about what a loved one would actually want.

• You need to complete an advance directive, healthcare POA, financial POA, POLST, or DNR before a crisis forces it.
• You're caring for someone with dementia and don't know what to expect.

What it actually does for you. 54 pages, built to be used, not read once and shelved.

• Understand what hospice, palliative care, skilled nursing, and long term care each actually mean, and how they differ.
• Know what Medicare does, and does not, cover, including the room and board rule most families get backwards.

• Walk into a facility tour with the exact questions that separate a well run place from a dangerous one.
• Complete your advance directive, healthcare POA, financial POA, POLST, and code status decisions, step by step, in plain English.

• Use word for word scripts for the conversations everyone puts off, with the physician, the patient, and disagreeing siblings.
• Know what to do first, second, and third with a 30 day action plan, instead of reacting to a crisis with no plan.

Know what Medicare does, and does not, pay for before you sign anything.
