All people have individual needs. Above all, living and ageing with dignity means being able to shape your own everyday life independently for as long as possible and making your own decisions. In order to be able to act in the interests of a person with limited decision-making capacity, you can make provisions at an early stage. 

In addition to the precautionary options based on the Adult Protection Act, you should also think about a living will. Then your personal decisions about medical treatment options can be respected and implemented. You can also make provisions with life books or biographical notebooks: This allows you to write down information about your wishes and needs in relation to decisions to be made later at an early stage.
