Increasing advance personal planning by older adults

该项目旨在通过制定、实施和评估一个社区行动模式，提高社区65岁或65岁以上的人对预先个人规划的认识。人们有法律的权利提前进行个人规划，这一过程有助于他们讨论和记录他们的财务、个人和健康偏好，以防他们后来失去做出或沟通决定的能力。很少有人提前计划，即使它可以减少经济剥削，家庭冲突和不必要的医疗保健的可能性。该项目旨在提供一个社区行动模式，以建设各种社会服务的能力和协作，并改善老年人的福祉。

This project aims to increase the uptake of advance personal planning among people aged 65 years or over in the community by developing, implementing and evaluating a community action model. People have a legal right to engage in advance personal planning, a process that helps them discuss and document their financial, personal and health preferences, in case they later lose the ability to make or communicate decisions. Few people plan ahead, even though it can reduce the likelihood of financial exploitation, family conflict and unwanted medical care. This project aims to provide a model of community action to build capacity and collaboration across social services and improve the wellbeing of older people.
