Ontario Advance Care Directive

General Approach to Care

Your overall philosophy guides every decision that follows

This is the foundation of your Living Will. There are no right or wrong answers — this is about what matters to you personally. Your substitute decision-maker will use this to understand your priorities.

General approach to medical care:

Comfort-focused Prioritize quality of life, comfort, and dignity over prolonging life Balanced Try reasonable treatments, but stop if there is no meaningful improvement or hope of recovery Life-prolonging Use all available medical interventions to keep me alive as long as possible
