Extremely restrictive written health care POA...it's what I've done after watching mom live the better part of a decade completely bedridden due to advanced dementia.
I.e. if I have a terminal illness, specifically including dementia, I desire only palliative care...e.g. no code, no feeding tube, etc., not even oral antibiotics.
Easier said than done. You're made to feel like a criminal when you try to implement this for an AZ/dementia patient. My mother was private pay, and they were going to ride that train as long as they could. They made an already stressful situation so much worse than it had to me.
