What is an advanced care plan?

An advanced care plan is a written document that outlines an individual’s preferences and instructions for their daily care, and how to maintain their overall well-being. It helps ensure that the person receives personalized and appropriate care based on their values, wishes, and goals, even when they may no longer be able to communicate or make decisions independently.
