A medical crisis can leave you unable to make your own decisions. A power of attorney for personal care decides who speaks for you, before you ever need it.
A power of attorney for personal care names the person who will make decisions about your health care, housing, safety, nutrition, hygiene and clothing if you become mentally incapable of deciding for yourself. It takes effect only on incapacity.
Without one, if you cannot make a decision, the law decides who steps in, which may not be the person you would have chosen, and it can leave loved ones without clear authority during a crisis. Disagreements among family members at the bedside are common, and painful, exactly when calm is needed most.
The document works best when the person you name actually knows your values and wishes about care. Setting it up thoughtfully, alongside your will and property POA, completes a basic plan everyone should have.

Book a Consultation一场医疗危机，可能让你无法为自己作决定。个人护理授权书，在你需要它之前，就先决定由谁为你发声。
个人护理授权书指定一个人，在你丧失自行决定的心智能力时，为你作出关于医疗、居所、安全、营养、卫生与穿着的决定。它仅在你丧失能力时生效。
没有它，一旦你无法作决定，就由法律决定谁来接手，而那未必是你会选的人，并可能让所爱之人在危机中缺乏明确的授权。亲属在病床前意见相左，既常见又痛苦，而那恰恰是最需要冷静的时刻。
当你指定的人真正了解你关于护理的价值观与意愿时，这份文件才最管用。把它与你的遗嘱和财产授权书一起、用心地安排好，就完成了一套人人都该拥有的基本计划。
