Advanced Life Events  
Expect the Unexpected​

Although we may feel strong and healthy today, we need to realize that we are all vulnerable to unexpected Advanced Life Events. What are the Advanced Life Events that can impact your independence? 
1. Hospitalization
2. Falls/Functional Loss
3. Dementia/Cognitive Loss
4. Spousal/Partner Illness or Loss
5. Home Upkeep Issues

​
Why We Do Not Plan for Advanced Life Events
When you are faced with an Advanced Life Event, it will be very difficult to make decisions about what to do next. Think through the implications of these events now and feel that you have some understanding of how you will need to move ahead, you will feel more in control. Take a step forward to a more informed future. 
​Plan Your Life Span
Click on the button below to access a very helpful planning tool for safely and calmly exploring each of the Advanced Life Events. As you move through, you can record important choices for your care that results in a printable instruction sheet to share with your emergency contacts.
