END-OF-LIFE CARE SHOULDN’T BE A LAST MINUTE DECISION. Many people don’t realize they have options when it comes to the care they want to receive. That’s why there’s National Healthcare Decisions Day. You may have never heard of it, but it’s just as important as the tax deadline that comes the day before. It’s a day devoted to educating and empowering you to make your healthcare choices known should you become unable to speak for yourself. By making these choices now, you’re giving your loved ones the gift of peace of mind. Hospice of the Western Reserve can help. We offer a free guide that provides useful tips and worksheets, plus all the legal documents required by the State of Ohio. There is no wrong way to begin and no better time than now. Be prepared to make choices that are right for you.
