All people have individual needs. Above all, living and ageing with dignity means being able to shape your own everyday life independently and make your own decisions for as long as possible. To ensure that a person's wishes are respected when their ability to make decisions becomes limited, making early provisions is essential.
In addition to the precautionary options provided by the Adult Protection Law, you should also consider making a living will. This ensures that your personal decisions about medical treatment options can be respected and carried out. You can also prepare by using life books or biographical notebooks. These allow you to record your wishes and needs in advance, providing guidance for decisions that may need to be made later.
