If you are concerned about providing clear instructions to your family and support team in the event you develop dementia or other cognitive impairment, then click the button below. This Advance Directive is just like the one for incapacity and end-of-life instructions but is specifically tailored to express your wishes concerning the unique challenges this condition can present, if you have been, or ever were to be, diagnosed with dementia.
This directive was developed by Barak Gaster, MD with help from experts in the fields of geriatrics, neurology, and palliative care. Dr. Gaster can be reached at barakg@uw.edu. The page to which you are being directed is Dr. Barak Gaster’s website. Please click the link below.
