Hospice of Northwest Ohio Presents: Who's Making Decisions Here? Common Ethical Situations at End of Life
Larc Lane Training Center, 1155 Larc Lane, Toledo, OH 43614
This presentation will articulate the differences and hierarchy of surrogate healthcare decision makers in regard to Guardianship, Living Will, Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare, and Legal Next of Kin. The scope of power of each role will be discussed, as well as the importance of the consideration of the patient's wishes, not the surrogate decision maker. Attendees will also learn about common problems as they relate to individuals with dementia, their decision making capacity, and when surrogate decision makers should and shouldn't be responsible for making healthcare decisions for individuals with dementia.
