Advanced Health Care Directives

Make sure your loved ones know exactly what you want—before they have to guess.

When life takes an unexpected turn, the last thing your family needs is confusion or guilt over your medical wishes. An Advanced Health Care Directive (AHCD) gives your loved ones clarity, confidence, and peace of mind during life’s hardest moments.

Just like television evolved from black and white to vivid 3D, your health care directive can be as simple or as detailed as you need—helping your family see your wishes in full color.

The Black & White AHCD

Think of this as the first television—groundbreaking, but basic.
It appoints someone to make decisions on your behalf and covers the essentials of life support. While it leaves many details up to your agent’s judgment, it’s still far better than leaving your loved ones without direction.

Includes:

  • Appoints a Health Care Agent

  • Addresses Life Support Decisions

  • Grants the Agent Decision-Making Authority

The Color AHCD

This version brings your wishes into focus. Like the leap from black and white to color TV, it adds clarity and confidence for your loved ones. You can appoint alternate agents, nominate a guardian, and give your agent access to your medical records—everything most families need for peace of mind.

Includes Everything in the Black & White AHCD, Plus:

  • Appoints Alternate Agents

  • Nominates a Guardian

  • Grants Access to Medical Records

The High-Definition (HD) AHCD

HD makes every detail clear. This plan removes guesswork by providing precise instructions for how you wish to be treated. It also allows you to share your broader philosophy about life, care, and dignity, so your loved ones never have to wonder what you’d want.

Includes Everything in the Color AHCD, Plus:

  • Addresses Medical Research Participation

  • Clarifies Organ Donation Wishes

  • Expresses Your Philosophy of End-of-Life Care

The 3D AHCD

3D goes beyond details—it captures your values.
This plan not only outlines your medical care but also your emotional, spiritual, and social wishes. It helps your family honor who you are, not just what you want. Clients often choose this plan because it minimizes the emotional burden on their loved ones and ensures that every decision reflects their heart and faith.

Includes Everything in the HD AHCD, Plus:

  • Guidance for Long-Term or Extended Incapacity

  • Preferences for Pain Management and Comfort

  • Instructions for Persistent Vegetative States

  • Guidance for Religious or Spiritual Involvement

  • Wishes for Independent Living and Elder Care
