to live life to its fullest in the place you call home,

regardless of age, illness, or disability.

Challenge the negative stereotypes about aging by maintaining an active role in your own community.

The notion of a senior retiring to a rocking chair is obsolete. Resolve to remain active and involved.

Page 22: Llp presentation aging with dignity washington helping hands presentation

Make a plan for yourself that includes where and how you will live as you grow older.

Think about what you might need in your life in case you need daily support.

Choose someone you trust to be a surrogate decision-maker who will honor your health care wishes if you cannot make decisions for yourself, and let that person know what you want for your life.

Take Charge in How You Want to Age

Page 23: Llp presentation aging with dignity washington helping hands presentation

Talk with your doctor and your loved ones now about the kind of care you want for yourself.

Consider filling out advance directives.
