Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - For families navigating the aging journey, before crisis creates chaos.When a parent's health begins to change, most families discover they never had the conversations that matter most. They do not know who should speak when their loved one cannot. They have not documented wishes. They are making life-altering decisions under pressure, without clarity, and too often without agreement.Care Matters and Healthcare Power of Attorney by Stephanie Goodman gives families the framework, the language, and the practical tools to change that, before panic sets in and crisis arrives.Drawing from decades of personal caregiving experience and real family stories, Goodman introduces the powerful concept of Golden Agreements: a structured approach to the conversations, legal documents, and shared understandings that protect everyone and create family unity when aging, illness, and decline arrive. This is not a legal handbook or a medical guide. It is a compassionate, deeply practical roadmap for the human side of aging.Inside this essential caregiving guide, you'll learn how to: - Choose, prepare, and support a Healthcare Power of Attorney (HCPOA) Agent- Understand Advance Directives, POLST/MOLST forms, and how they work together- Have honest conversations about independence, memory loss, and end-of-life wishes to create a clear roadmap before loved ones need it most- Recognize the early signs of cognitive decline and know when and how to act- Navigate the dreaded driving conversation and other critical independence milestones- Build a caregiving support system and avoid caregiver burnout- Manage medications, hospitalizations, and emergency preparedness- Make decisions using substituted judgement which honors a loved one's voice when they can no longer use it- Reduce family conflict during high-pressure medical decisions- Plan for hospice, end-of-life care, and the twilight phase with clarity and presence- Organize critical legal documents, HIPAA waivers, and medical records into one accessible systemWith warmth, humanity, and practical wisdom this book speaks to: - Adult children helping aging parents navigate healthcare decisions- Those who have been named as a Healthcare Power of Attorney Agent and those in the process of choosing one- Spouses, partners, friends, and loved ones supporting each other through the aging journey- Caregivers seeking practical guidance and relief from isolationAnyone planning thoughtfully and compassionately for their own futureFrom the aging brain and dementia to senior living decisions, from medication management to the emotional weight of carrying someone else's most important wishes, every chapter addresses the real situations families face, opens with an authentic family story, and closes with actionable Golden Agreements Best Practices.The families who experience the most peace are the ones who prepared early.It is the conversation no one wants, but everyone is relieved to have.…
