Advance Care Planning
Advance Care Planning (ACP) is the process of reflecting on and documenting your wishes for future medical treatment in case you become unable to make decisions for yourself. By considering what kind of care aligns with your values and communicating these wishes to someone you trust, you ensure that your treatment will reflect your personal goals and beliefs. ACP offers peace of mind, allowing your loved ones to confidently make decisions on your behalf during difficult times, ensuring your voice is heard even when you cannot speak for yourself.

Geriatric Assessments & Planning
Assessments and planning for geriatric support and care involve evaluating the unique needs of older adults, particularly in areas like memory, frailty and service navigation. These assessments help identify cognitive impairments, physical vulnerabilities, and challenges in daily living, enabling the development of personalized care plans. By addressing memory issues, managing frailty, and guiding individuals through available services, these plans ensure comprehensive support, enhancing the quality of life for seniors and helping them maintain independence and well-being.
